Bikes are not the answer* However, with the right mix of intention and resources, bikes and supportive physical education programming can be a part of a collection of interventions that can create more favorable learning conditions within schools. According to this article looking at the gaps in student academic progress since the pandemic, "in a sample of districts with outsize recovery, educators described multiple approaches. Some focused on spending more federal dollars on academics — and less, for instance, on renovating school buildings. Some prioritized adding instruction time — via intensive tutoring, summer school or other sessions — which research shows can produce significant gains. Many experimented, coming up with new strategies to help students, including their mental health." I constantly hear from the teachers I work with how cycling and being outdoors is a key tool to help students focus, calm down, and form connections. What are some other ideas you've seen to address the troubling findings of this article?
