LEARNING LOSS
MITIGATION
Want more information on our Learning Loss Mitigation? Let’s start a conversation today.
One of the most pressing issues in Education is making up for the Learning Loss that happened during the Pandemic.
The end of the 2022 school year is fast approaching, probably to the relief of both teachers and students. The challenges our educators have overcome are monumental. As we pause to review our assessment data, it is becoming apparent that Learning Loss and the Curriculum Gap are here for the foreseeable future.
69% of teachers are less confident..
A recent EDWeek Research Center study reported that 69% of teachers are less confident that their students will be on grade level by the end of the school year. Elementary teachers reported that on average, 49% of their students were reading on grade level in December, nearly a 16% drop from the 58% they said were on grade level in winter 2019.
In math, elementary teachers said that 53% of their students were on grade level in December, a 13% decline from the 61% they said were on grade level two winters ago.
Providing Intervention for Students
The team at DataWORKS Educational Research has identified three programs to consider immediately to directly combat Learning Loss

These strategies should be considered with any program to fight Learning Loss
5 Components for an Intervention Program
Here are some ideas and additional resources for you to review when choosing an Intervention program to focus on Learning Loss
Academic Engagement
Focus on the student experience by delivering great lessons to maximize their involvement with content
Conceptual Understanding
Focus on Concepts to give students the understanding that will accelerate their skill development
Language Development
Focus on Academic Language - Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing, no matter which Domain is being taught
Expanded Need for Summer School
Summer School in the past has been used to combat learning loss that students experience during the summer. Now, Summer School will be used to combat learning loss from the pandemic.
Flexible Structure for Summer School
The beauty of a summer school program is that it can be structured to give students support in different ways. Let’s get creative! Some schools could actually offer their students two or three tracks in one summer program -- any of the five options above could be combined in one school. For example, your school could offer a Step Up, Catch Up, and Language track depending on the needs of students.
