Very important article by @The74 and research by @NWEA. Students will lose a lot of this year's learning after COVID-19 school closures. On top of typical summer learning loss.

All of us in #education #data and #evaluation need to talk about how this will affect our work. https://twitter.com/Data_Dana/status/1250423133619646466

Here is the direct link to the COVID-19 slide research by @NWEA.

Tagging the researchers on the @NWEA COVID-19 slide paper here so they get credit. @MeganKuhfeld @bethtarasawa

Adding another piece to this thread. It talks about how low income students experience more learning loss than their high income peers.
Thanks to @JustinSandefur and @leecrawfurd for first bringing this to my attention. https://blogs.iadb.org/ideas-matter/en/pandemic-and-inequality-how-much-human-capital-is-lost-when-schools-close/
