For this episode, we're once again joined by Dr. Chase Nordengren, principal research lead for Effective Instructional Strategies at NWEA to talk about teacher-led approaches to academic recovery.Chase works closely with leading scholars from around the globe to turn theory into actionable practices to drive instructional improvement. His latest study, High Growth for All, captured ways teachers in one Chicago-area district are leading the academic recovery effort and producing above average academic growth over multiple years for kids across the achievement spectrum Chase is also the author of Step into Student Goal Setting: A Path to Growth, Motivation, and Agency from Corwin Press.
Students across the U.S. fell further behind academically last school year despite extensive efforts to help them recover from pandemic learning setbacks, according to an analysis of test scores. The study by the research organization Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA), which also administers assessments in K-12 schools, lands as the 2024 deadline approaches quickly for schools to spend the last of the $190 billion in federal pandemic relief money. “There are ways schools can take better advantage of their limited resources and time to boost learning,” said Chase Nordengren, the group's lead researcher for instructional strategies. He said schools could group students based on their needs and provide targeted instruction, for example, adjusting groups as individuals progress. “We've been trying to send the message that this is a multiyear, if not decades-long recovery period, and is going to require some fundamental rethinking of the ways that not only we educate students but we think about how students are grouped and how we think about their learning,” Nordengren added. “I think that perhaps we've neglected filling in the holes of the last two years in a rush to get back to grade-level content and we're seeing the impact of that, that kids are not able to keep up because they're still missing some foundational pieces,” said Karyn Lewis, director of the Center for School and Student Progress at NWEA, and the study's co-author. Lewis wonders whether families know how bad the situation is, and if there is an appetite for schools to be innovative enough to tackle the problem. “Schools are doing the right things,” she said. “They're just not doing enough of the right things. And I think that's because we've underestimated how persistent the effects of COVID will be on kids.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.
The elusive practice of classroom differentiation has historically had lots of “shouldas” and “couldas” from experts, but it's always been difficult to do well at scale. Disruptions in formal schooling for all students and educators have only increased the need for good differentiation in the classroom, but there's no easy button. We discuss how differentiation works today — is it getting easier or harder? Are we making it too complicated, or not complicated enough? Our guests share successful practices they've learned from teachers around the country—teachers who walk that thin line between dull routine and total chaos to give kids the right level of voice and choice in their learning. We talk to Tatiana Ciccarelli, a math educator and model teacher from New York City, currently supporting educators around the country through professional learning, and Dr. Chase Nordengren, principal research scientist for effective instruction at NWEA.
During this episode we talk about goal setting in the classroom. We know that having our kids set and reach goals in incredibly motivational for them and can be a powerful tool in the learning process. Chase talks about how goal setting can bring a number of effective practices together to increase growth, motivation and agency.

For our final episode on student agency, we thought it was time to help our students set some better goals. So, we brought in Chase Nordengren, senior research scientist at NWEA and author of the forthcoming book, Step Into Student Goal Setting (Corwin, Jan 2022). He's joined by 3rd grade teacher and education innovator Amanda Thornton to discuss how goal setting, with clear learning intentions and plenty of scaffolded support by teachers, can lead to high learning growth and more student agency. As always, there are plenty of tips, actionable strategies, and stories from the classroom. Thank you for joining us this season!
Let's begin our journey towards better grading practices! Grades have remained a fundamental component of our education system for over a century. Yet despite shifts across so many other areas of educational practice, grading practices have seen little, if any, change to match the demands of modern pedagogy. The pandemic revealed stark flaws in traditional grading protocols and simultaneously presented a profound opportunity for actual change. What should educators, families, and society in general consider around why change is needed and where to begin?
This week, Will and Andy sit down with Dr. Chase Nordengren to talk about the analog and digital tools he used when writing his dissertation. They also talk about how quickly some digital tools change while analog tools are just as reliable as always.
