This brief from UVA EdPolicyWorks details day-by-day data on the in-person learning of each grade level in Virginia’s 132 public school divisions for the entire 2020-21 school year.

This brief from UVA EdPolicyWorks details how students would access curriculum if they were not in the school building, how teachers would provide instruction, and whether teachers would be responsible for teaching students both in-person and online.

This brief from UVA EdPolicyWorks details how school divisions in Virginia responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by increasing their use of remote technology for instructional purposes.

The disruptions to schooling created by the COVID-19 pandemic prompted nationwide concern about negative impacts on academic proficiency, particularly for vulnerable student populations. Pennsylvania’s 2021 statewide assessments offered the first opportunity since the pandemic began to assess how students across the Commonwealth were faring, whether achievement gaps had widened, and how remote learning affected student performance.

Proficiency rates on Pennsylvania’s statewide assessments in 2022 remain below pre-pandemic levels, especially in math, but there is evidence that student learning has begun to recover.

The COVID-19 pandemic raised concerns about the possibility of increased staff attrition from the public school sector, as it did for other occupations during the Great Resignation that followed the pandemic’s onset. Recruiting and retaining education staff were pressing challenges even before the pandemic began.

In 2021, two Education Innovation and Research (EIR) competitive preference priorities were issued to address the impact of Covid and promote equity in Pre-K-12 education.

From unfinished learning to missing students and lost earnings, these charts help explain the pandemic's long-term impact.

Across the country, scores for nine-year-old students dropped 7 points in math and 5 points in reading. But even before the pandemic, there were worrisome levels in proficiency—especially among historically underserved students—and gaps widened over the last two years.

In this guide, we present a set of overarching principles and strategies to address the social-emotional and mental health needs of both students and adults at this critical juncture and beyond.
