While some students have remained somewhat sheltered from the hardships associated with COVID-19, others have experienced fear, isolation, and loss caused by the disease. For example, some students had parents at home to support and assist with academic learning, while others didn’t. In addition, many students have benefitted from exposure to new and engaging online learning resources. In contrast, others lacked internet access and could not engage in these learning opportunities.
Data use can often serve as a valuable tool to help educators navigate the challenges presented by the pandemic and the learning gaps already in place.
Ultimately, amid uncertainty, data provides valuable information which can guide school decisions in purposeful, meaningful ways. Moreover, when data is used positively, positive outcomes occur.
Data helps educators understand, identify, and respond to students’ learning abilities and needs. Data analysis also helps educators make decisions that impact student learning and can assist in offering social and emotional support.
