When students fall far behind in math:
- mastering future content gets harder
- unfinished learning snowballs
- the pace req. to catch up in a year gets absurd.
All of which exacerbates inequities.
Path forward: A transition to personalized, competency-based learning.

My compliments to @ZachTumin and Madeleine Want on their new book, ‘Precisely,’ and its focus on the importance of precision analytics in a world increasingly dependent on an expanding, complex environment of data systems and technologies. I had the great good fortune to co-author an earlier book with Zach, ‘Collaborate or Perish in Today’s Networked World.’ Both books use real-life experiences and initiatives to guide the reader through the growing information complexities of the 21st century world we live in and share. As a practitioner of Predictive and Precision Policing, I found it to be a valuable addition to that data-driven world.
