A new math intervention helps narrow achievement gap among preschoolers
By the time they reach kindergarten, children from disadvantaged backgrounds may already be behind in math. But identifying which students need help-and in what areas-can be challenging for teachers, who often lack knowledge of each child's baseline skills. A new study from the University of Chicago offers a potential solution: By assessing a variety of specific skills one-on-one every 10 weeks, teachers can bring students up to speed more effectively-helping to reduce the achievement gap.
