In the News: Kenneth Shores

Kenneth A. Shores, assistant professor in the College of Education & Human Development’s School of Education, spoke with St. Louis Post-Dispatch about how pandemic aid offered a rare chance to quickly test which recovery efforts were most effective in helping students recover learning loss due to school closures.
