Educators across the U.S. are all trying to deal with an unprecedented potential learning loss, also known as the “COVID Slide.” Students fell behind academically this past school year after the effects of COVID-19 and virtual learning. Students that were already behind prior to the pandemic are showing the greatest learning loss. COVID-19 has disrupted the education of an entire generation of children We have a full generation of students that aren’t fully prepared. This catastrophic learning loss could mean high school drop-out rates are likely to increase, resulting in up to 1 million more drop-outs. “If schools are to effectively address the learning loss created by the pandemic, it is imperative that they know the extent of the loss along with the most effective evidence-based strategies to support our students’ growth moving forward” Dan Jorgensen, PhD, of the Colorado Department of Education’s School Improvement and Planning.
