A breakdown of our "Learning Loss Handbook."

Today, Nick and I are going to break down Human Restoration Project's recently released "Learning Loss" Handbook, providing an overview of the ideas we present in the book, the faux narrative being created surrounding "learning loss", and offering an alternative for educators to push for and pursue. You can find the free download at humanrestorationproject.org/materials.

I remember when the pandemic started, I wanted an extension to this one class because the teacher never gave me the class code to join for the Google Classroom, all the assignments were posted. I had three assignments due in one day, but it was his fault for not giving me the code, but he was saying that I'm a good student and I shouldn't be complaining and I'm like, "I'm not complaining. I'm just asking you to understand." I do all my assignments on-time, but the fact that I'd asked him for an extension even though it was his fault that I was not in the Google Classroom, kind of made me feel like what is going on because teachers should be very much understanding.
