Students across the US fell further behind academically last school year despite extensive efforts to help them recover from pandemic learning setbacks, according to a new analysis of test scores.
WASHINGTON — Students across the U.S. fell further behind academically last school year despite extensive efforts to help them recover from pandemic learning setbacks, according to an analysis of test scores released Tuesday.
"We've been trying to send the message that this is a multiyear, if not decades-long recovery period and is going to require some fundamental rethinking of the ways that not only we educate students but we think about how students are grouped and how we think about their learning," he said. With historic sums of money sent by the federal government, schools have expanded tutoring, summer learning programs and other recovery efforts.
One of the few positive findings was in the class that just finished third grade. Those students were in kindergarten when the pandemic started, an age that made virtual learning a challenge, and their slow recovery raised alarms in an NWEA study released in December. It found that those soon-to-be fourth graders were suffering the largest pandemic-related learning losses in reading.
