Abstract
Education policy, research, and practice are viewed through the lens of addressing barriers to student learning. This produces an analysis that differs markedly from prevailing discussions of how to improve instruction and enhance student achievement. Discussion begins by underscoring the problems for policy, research, and practice that arise from not carefully differentiating among students who manifest learning difficulties. From this perspective, it is stressed that prevailing trends do not adequately address the full range of barriers to learning in ways that provide opportunities for all students to succeed. Implications for new policy directions are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
