School districts across the country with differing budgets and technological infrastructure responded uniquely, achieving differing levels of success. The transition to remote learning during the pandemic exposed a deep digital and device divide, widened achievement gaps between students in low-and high-income households, and imposed a physical and emotional toll.  \nEven prior to the pandemic, according to international assessments of student achievement, American children were performing below the OECD average in math, and performance gaps between low-and high-income students were widening faster in the US than in other countries, especially in reading.  \nPandemic-related school closures and remote learning mandates exacerbated existing inequities domestically. Remote learning has been widespread during the pandemic. Near the end of the 2020–2021 school year, 49 percent of households with children enrolled in public or private schools reported that children were still receiving at least some virtual or online instruction (Chart 2). (In some cases, this included on-campus students logging on to virtual lessons from inside their classrooms, despite their schools having reopened to physical learning.) This is down from the nearly two-thirds of households who reported children moving to at least some online learning at the beginning of the school year.1 However, more than a year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many children are still subject to the learning limitations of emergency remote learning models.  \nStudents of color and those in low-income households have suffered the largest setbacks  \nfrom this reliance on remote learning because they are more likely to have received  \nremote education and, at the same time, are the least equipped for it. They have less  \naccess to devices, less reliable or mobile-only internet connections, and less real-time  \ncontact with teachers to fill in these connectivity gaps. Although overall digital connec  \ntivity and remote learning methodologies have improved over the 2020–2021 school  \nyear, and the pace of learning loss has slowed, opportunity gaps have continued to widen between different student groups and have led children of color and those in low-income  \nfamilies to fall behind more than others.  \nThese challenges present a unique opportunity to reimagine a more effective,  \nengaging, and equitable educational system more resilient to future disruption. The  \npressure of pandemic response has forced innovation that could benefit our nation’s  \nchildren if we can identify and harness best practices for online education now and  \ninto the future, including during the next pandemic or other interruptions of classroom  \nlearning. Policymakers and educators must learn from the pandemic experience, leverage  \ntechnology in and out of the classroom, and integrate remote learning when and where  \nit is most constructive. By using digital and online tools more effectively and equitably,  \nand integrating them into curricula, school districts can offer effective blended learning  \nsettings that better support students and teachers while reducing inequalities among  \nschools and diverse student populations in the longer term.  \nProvisions have already been made to address the challenges and begin capitalizing on  \nthese opportunities. In response to the pressures of the pandemic, Congress has provided  \na combined $189.5 billion to the nation’s K-12 schools as part of the three aid packages  \ntied to the COVID-19 pandemic.2 States have significant discretion in how to spend these  \nfunds,3 and the process of a","cbCaivHDZUJEQGVm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivHDZUJEQGVm","pdf",753544,17,"English","# Overview\n## Insights for what’s ahead\n## Recommendations to meet postpandemic needs\n## Narrow the digital divide","[{\"question\":\"What problems did the COVID-19 pandemic create for K-12 schools’ transition to learning?\",\"answer\":\"Schools struggled to move to remote learning, exposing a digital and device divide, widening achievement gaps, and increasing physical and emotional burdens.\"},{\"question\":\"Why were students of color and students in low-income households most affected?\",\"answer\":\"They were more likely to receive remote education while having less access to devices, less reliable internet, and fewer opportunities for real-time teacher support.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key recommendations to meet postpandemic educational needs?\",\"answer\":\"Policymakers and educators should develop strategies to harness remote learning technologies more effectively, including public-private partnerships, with goals such as narrowing the digital divide.\"}]","SUSTAINING CAPITALISM - Reimagining K-12 - Emerging from Disruption with Insights for Reform | PDF",1792048002,43]
