The Human Restoration Project is an incredible non-profit for all educators. Their resources are immense, ranging from pamphlets dissecting the moral panic around learning loss to their annual Conference To Restore Humanity, a radical reimagining of how we share knowledge, praxis, and community with one another.
Michael Weingarth, founder of Penelope Education, joins Nick Covington of HRP to talk about, in short, why it’s so hard to accurately evaluate learning and why cognitive compensation is a liberatory framework for assessing why students are struggling.

Do you really even need the SSAT? This webinar talks you through the problems with the test as a metric, how to find more valid sources of the most important data the test can produce, and how to look for and gather that data to find correlations with your school’s practices and standards.
Learn about the neuropsychology of the test itself, the neurobiology of learners, and how you can become a leader in equitable admissions practices.
Build holistic, data-driven admissions practices that weigh cognitive and brain-based factors in lieu of test scores.
