Projecting the Potential Impact of Covid-19 School Closures on Academic Achievement
As the COVID-19 pandemic upended the 2019–2020 school year, education systems scrambled to meet the needs of students and families with little available data on how school closures may impact learning.

This study uses content analysis to compare the portrayal of bilingual education in a mainstream publication (Atlanta Journal Constitution) to tha…
