A new national research study that shows learning acceleration can help all students catch up and move forward in math. Zearn researchers found that when a struggling student consistently engaged in grade-level learning and received just-in-time, coherent support (learning acceleration), they completed twice as many grade-level lessons and struggled less than when they engaged in below grade-level skill building (remediation).
The findings come from an analysis of how 600,000 individual elementary- and middle-school students across all 50 states responded to 5 million instances of learning acceleration and remediation during the last two years of pandemic learning. Put simply, this research offers promising evidence that learning acceleration works at scale.
