Evidence-Based Practices After the COVID Cliff

As educators, we are familiar with battling student academic regression known as the Summer Slide after a long, relaxing summer. However, due to the pandemic, we now must tackle the learning loss experienced through 2020 and 2021 known as the COVID Cliff. It is essential that we recommit our educational prowess to helping students succeed, renew our knowledge of identifying effective interventions to support student growth and reimagine an educational system without the disruption experienced during the pandemic. Planning for supplemental support is imperative to identify appropriate teaching strategies and interventions. Key considerations are: “At what level are the students performing now?”, “At what level do we want them to perform tomorrow?” and “How do we lessen the gap?” It is important that teachers plan for intervention implementation, monitor student progress, and evaluate teaching effectiveness.
