"From the proposal: "This book concerns how to resume schooling. Many educators have bemoaned the so-called learning gap that followed from the closure of physical school plants in March, 2020, given the problems of teaching online that developed during the sudden transition to virtual teaching and learning. This gap is measured according to how students perform on tests that use curriculum standards as the sole measure for what students learn in school, and standardized tests as the evaluation instrument to measure 'student growth'""-- Provided by publisher.
