Standardized testing scores for elementary and middle schoolers in Texas improved this past school year after disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
STAAR test results for 3rd to 8th grade students came out Friday and the results show an improvement over last year, but there's still a long way to go to address COVID-19 pandemic learning loss.
In reading and language arts, the number of 3rd-8th graders meeting the grade level or above is now above pre-pandemic levels."It's going to take time and it's going to take money going to the right places," State Board Of Education Member Aicha Davis said. "The more that we do try and the innovative ways to address student learning, the more we'll get back to where we were any time.
"I’m not super surprised. I think there’s several reasons why we may not be seeing the same kind of rebound we saw in mathematics that we saw in reading," said SMU associate professor Candace Walkington, who specializes in math education.
"We can’t just go back in time and pretend like the pandemic never happened," she explained. "We have to go back and build on the good parts about it, the parts where students had more say in their learning and more control in order to re-engage them in a post-pandemic world in mathematics."
