Manage episode 360525867 series 3446671
Today I welcome Dr. Gabriel DellaVecchia, who has reviewed decades of research about retention to answer the question: on the whole, do third grade retention laws—which are on the books in some form in 27 states in the US – help or harm literacy outcomes? Later, I’m joined by my colleagues Darren Victory and Lea Mercantini Liebowitz to discuss practical takeaways.

At various times in his career as an educator, Gabe has been an in-school reading tutor, a Peace Corps volunteer providing teacher professional development, a math and science paraprofessional, and an English teacher in Japan.
