” After several reports exploring the extent of unfinished learning, we find that remote versus in school alone did not matter much in affecting trainee scores,” said Dr. Kristen Huff, vice president of assessment and research at Curriculum Associates. “Though there were slight distinctions in student growth based upon place, what mattered most was where trainees began in the first place– that is, whether they were currently behind or prepared for grade-level work at the beginning of the school year.”

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., March 17, 2022– Whether trainees are gotten ready for grade-level learning matters more to their development over the course of the pandemic than whether they were remote or in school, according to a brand-new report launched by Curriculum Associates. The report, Student Growth during COVID-19: Grade-Level Preparedness Matters, examines data collected from the edtech companys i-Ready Evaluation tool for reading and mathematics from more than 2 million Grades 1– 8 students who used i-Ready Diagnostics during the last three school years, using student screening location (i.e., in school or remote) as a proxy for finding out location.

Remote versus in-school location alone did not matter a lot in affecting student scores. There was little difference in development between trainees who reported all or mainly in-school screening throughout COVID-19 compared to those who were remote only or mostly remote, although the differences in mathematics were usually bigger than reading.

” We believe this insight ought to be a call to other researchers who have access to student-level data to look at similar aspects,” stated Huff. “Through everybodys special contributions, the research neighborhood can weave together an understanding of the true effect of 2020 and 2021 on trainee knowing and education. With that understanding, we can move on in healing and in getting ready for and dealing with future disruptions to minimize unfinished knowing and impact on trainees.”.

The report provides new insights on trainee learning trends, and functions as a call to other education researchers to look at comparable aspects. Curriculum Associates information follows the same trainees, taking a look at how they advanced over time from the 2019– 2020 school year before the pandemic hit through the 2020– 2021 academic year. This report offers an unique understanding of how the pandemic impacted students as, unlike many research released on incomplete knowing, it followed the very same students throughout 2 years, integrating their reported screening location during the pandemic.

Of the variables examined, whether trainees started the academic year ready or underprepared for grade-level work was the most significant element impacting development throughout the pandemic.
Trainees who came in underprepared for grade-level work struggled the most to maintain and capture up during COVID-19 interruptions, despite testing location, poverty level, student body demographics, or school location.
Although trainees in metropolitan, high-poverty schools with more Black and Latino students showed growth, which deserves commemorating, that development still dragged what we would anticipate given historical pre-COVID-19 patterns.
