So much ESSER funding went in to purchasing instructional materials. ($18.9 billion, to be exact!) But High-Quality Instructional Materials are only PART of the puzzle. In order to combat some of the pandemic learning loss and improve student outcomes, we need to pair these materials with High-Quality Professional Learning. Our CEO, Matthew Kennard, and Kiddom Co-Founder & CEO Ahsan Rizvi's recent District Administration article discusses just that. "Now, as the end of ESSER funds and impending budget cuts loom on the horizon, districts that fail to adopt a modern high-quality professional learning approach will struggle to leverage their investments in high-quality instructional materials and retain talented educators. It’s time for a novel approach to professional learning that supports the next generation of teachers and enables districts to maximize student outcomes, close equity gaps and create more engaging learning environments."
