Schools face a widening gap between high-performing students and those who fell behind during the pandemic. That makes it hard for struggling students to catch up.
Students are regaining some learning lost in the pandemic, but progress is still uneven, an analysis from the NWEA testing organization found.The pandemic’s impact on children has been so uneven that many U.S. classrooms now have a wider range of student abilities, with more students lagging far below grade level, new testing data shows. That’s made teachers’ jobs more difficult and put the prospect of academic recovery even further out of reach for many students.
The concern is even greater in schools with high concentrations of poor, Black or Latino students, where childrenStudents have also changed in other ways, teachers say, with some grieving loved ones who died from Covid-19 and many showing social and emotional immaturity after spending months or years in online classes instead of interacting with their peers in person.
“All of those things just factor into the widening gap between the kids who are OK, have always been OK and will continue to be OK, and those kids who were just hanging on and are now falling behind.” When Burger shared testing data with teachers last fall showing the wide variation among their students, they were alarmed.
Burger hopes this approach will yield better teaching going forward — potentially an enduring positive legacy from the pandemic — but, for now, she said, her school is still playing catch-up.Earlier in the pandemic, NWEA’s analysis of test score data showed that Covid quarantines and distance learning had disproportionately affected Black and Hispanic students and students who are poor.
