Impacts of Academic Recovery Interventions on Student Achievement in 2022 to 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic caused large, persistent declines in student achievement. This paper examines 2022–2023 recovery efforts across eight districts, including tutoring, small-group instruction, after-school, extended year, double-dose, digital learning, and expert teacher interventions. The study includes 12 math programs and 15 literacy programs (three covered both subjects). Most served fewer students and provided lower dosage than planned. U…
Measuring the Quality of the Teacher Workforce
Researchers from the Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research at the American Institutes for Research examine two approaches to measuring teacher effectiveness: traditional value-added measures (VAMs) based on test scores and newer measures focusing on non-test outcomes like attendance and behavior. Analysis of data from 8,000 Massachusetts teachers reveals three key findings: teachers vary significantly in their effectivene…
Summer School as a Learning Loss Recovery Strategy After Covid-19
To make up for pandemic-related learning losses, many U.S. public school districts have increased enrollment in their summer school programs. We assessed summer school as a strategy for COVID-19 learning recovery by tracking the academic progress of students who attended summer school in 2022 across eight districts serving 400,000 students. Using value-added models that control for students’ demographics and prior achievement, we estimated a posi…
When schools open
Does opening new schools of choice in urban areas lead to increased racial isolation among students? We examine whether the availability of new charter schools in Kansas City, Missouri, shapes patterns of segregation using student-level data between 2012 and 2016. We find that White students are over-represented among those who switch into new charter schools, and that they enter schools with lower proportions of Black students and higher proport…
Teacher Attitudes about Compensation Reform
Concerns about the quality of the teacher workforce and the distribution of teacher quality among schools have led to calls to reform teacher compensation. The authors present the results of the 2006 Washington State Teacher Compensation survey on teachers' attitudes about this issue. By linking survey results to detailed data on school and district characteristics, they analyze how teacher attitudes differ by individual characteristics such as s…
