February 1 2024- The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional learning, leading to the creation of new positions to address learning loss at Bronzeville Classical Elementary School. Shamika Keepers, an educator at the school, now serves in one of these roles, providing additional one-on-one instruction, or intervention, to students who require extra help. Additionally, Keepers coaches humanities teachers new to the profession or the school and offers accelerated instruction to students in need of more challenging material. Initially hesitant about leaving her classroom, Keepers has found fulfillment in the role, citing success stories of students benefiting from targeted intervention.
