Vista Online Math Tutor – Tutoring During Covid19
by Stuart Raffeld
Education Week released an article on Thursday outlining a new curve we need to worry about flattening — the “COVID slide.” The COVID slide is the projected academic recession students will experience due to school closures. These projections take into account students learning relatively less new curriculum since mid-March
as schools transition to remote learning and are based on trends from summer learning loss in past years.
The Northwest Evaluation Association, NWEA, released figures outlining how we can anticipate the COVID slide impacting student scores. As grim as the forecast for reading is, math is far worse. Students are projected to lose between a semester and a full year of academic growth in math! These projections are likely conservative for students in upper elementary grades, and perhaps even more so for vulnerable students who receive additional socio-economic support from their schools.
