☆ Teacher Shortages in America Are Holding Gen Z Students Like Me Back
  + stars: | 2024-03-17 | by ( Vaishnavi Kumbala | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
AdvertisementWhile teachers, students, and parents have all tried their best to make it work, many students still end up with huge learning gaps. Teacher shortages tend to be framed as a workplace problem: We just need to incentivize and support teachers better. AdvertisementWhen teacher shortages compound, some students just stop showing up. Even before COVID, students struggled to remember concepts they learned in a previous course — but the teacher shortages have exacerbated the problem. If America doesn't address its teacher shortages today, it will be left with a worse, less educated tomorrow.

☆ Opinion | The Startling Evidence on Learning Loss Is In
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic, Congress sent $190 billion in aid to schools, stipulating that 20 percent of the funds had to be used for reversing learning setbacks. At the time, educators knew that the impact on how children learn would be significant, but the extent was not yet known. The evidence is now in, and it is startling. It also set student progress in math and reading back by two decades and widened the achievement gap that separates poor and wealthy children. Economists are predicting that this generation, with such a significant educational gap, will experience diminished lifetime earnings and become a significant drag on the economy.
☆ New SAT Data Highlights the Deep Inequality at the Heart of American Education

When we account for how few poor students take the test, by looking at all students, a new and greater disparity emerges. It’s a reflection of an inequality in American education that starts long before high school. New SAT Data Highlights the Deep Inequality at the Heart of American EducationNew data shows, for the first time at this level of detail, how much students’ standardized test scores rise with their parents' incomes — and how disparities start years before students sit for tests. And in the last five decades, as the country has become more unequal by income, the gap in children’s academic achievement, as measured by test scores throughout schooling, has widened. Parenting in places with less income inequality and more public investment in families is more playful and relaxed, research shows.

☆ How Los Angeles Avoided National Academic Plunge During Pandemic
  + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Ben Chapman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Los Angeles Unified School District largely opted to keep schools closed months longer than some other large districts. The bleak picture of American educational progress that emerged with the release of the Nation’s Report Card this week came as no surprise to educators who were bombarded during the pandemic by disruptions in instruction, student mental-health problems and labor shortages in schools. It was, however, unexpected for one of the largest districts in the nation to outpace other districts and states, despite keeping schools closed until fall 2021, months longer than many other places, researchers said.
