National Test Scores Show Historic COVID Setbacks for Kids Across US
No part of the country was exempt. Every region saw test scores slide, and every state saw declines in at least one subject.
“I’m not concerned that they can’t or won’t recover,” Gordon said. “I’m concerned that the country won’t stay focused on getting kids caught up.” As the nation grapples with a teacher shortage, studies are showing that educators of color, specifically Black teachers, are more likely to leave. A survey by DonorsChoose, a nonprofit for teachers, found that only 55% of Black male teachers reported that they plan to still teach in 10 years, compared to 64% of White male teachers, and 66% of Latino male teachers. Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose, joins LX News to discuss why Black teachers are leaving the field.
Other recent studies have found that students who spent longer periods learning online suffered greater setbacks. But the NAEP results show no clear connection. Areas that returned to the classroom quickly still saw significant declines, and cities — which were more likely to stay remote longer — actually saw milder decreases than suburban districts, according to the results.
