Polling Data

Prior to the start of the presentation, Digital Promise polled participants. (The data are courtesy of edWeb.net.) As you can see below, engagement remains the dominant teaching challenge among respondents. Virtually all respondents are witnessing a significant impact on ELL student learning due to the pandemic. This means we still have much work to do to fight the COVID slide.
