What will be the impact on learning of almost six months outside a classroom? ¶¶”It is difficult to say with precision, but we all have to admit that there will be losses-big losses,” said Elizabeth Birr Moje, dean of the University of Michigan School of Education.¶¶She praised Michigan teachers who are scrambling to develop remote learning opportunities for their children. But teaching remotely, through online check-ins for students with Internet access and packets of materials for those who do not, likely will only mitigate large learning loss rather than erase them, Moje said.¶¶”We created a system of compulsory education, offered by certified professionals, because we know how important high-quality education is for societies to thrive,” Moje said. “We know that schools matter, and research tells us that good teaching is the single most important ingredient in school-based learning.”
