At CRPE, we study how the Covid-19 pandemic reshaped public education and what it will take for schools to recover and adapt. As a driving force in tracking the pandemic’s impact, we analyzed how districts responded to closures, remote learning, enrollment shifts, and the urgent needs of students and families. Our research continues to examine the lasting effects on learning, equity, and engagement, as well as how schools are using recovery efforts—from ESSER investments to new instructional models—to address unfinished learning and reimagine support for students. Through this work, we aim to understand not only how schools can recover lost ground, but also how they can build more resilient and responsive systems for the future.
Our analysis of district responses nationwide in the spring found many districts that responded quickly used a “tight,” centralized response and strong leadership to set expectations and provide for the basic resource needs for all students.
