Abstract
School closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have brought the issue of learning loss to the forefront in what has been called the "COVID slide." Data from the pandemic show a decline in student achievement in the areas of reading and mathematics for school districts that shifted to virtual learning platforms. However, it is unclear whether students experienced a loss of learning, or if they progressed at a slower rate while adapting to a new and unfamiliar learning modality. We propose that the latter may be especially true for younger students (i.e. K-3) as well as students with disabilities, who likely required additional support to engage in virtual learning. We offer recommendations as K-12 students return to in-person learning.
