Covid Learning Loss? Tutoring is Key.
Because of the pandemic, all students have suffered from COVID learning loss. According to research, there is one key way to help students overcome those learning losses and have a strong school year: tutoring.
Coupled with regular learning losses students incur over the summer, Covid-19 has created a major lag in learning. Education experts are concerned that students are experiencing education setbacks that will be difficult to overcome.
Many large-scale studies show that students’ learning has fallen behind where it would have been. Math scores have declined more than scores in literacy and the youngest learners seem to have lost the most ground.
One education research organization predicts that the average student lost 57 to 183 days of learning in reading and from 136 to 232 days of learning in math just during the spring of 2020.
Overcome COVID Learning Losses with Tutoring
Research shows that tutoring programs have major positive effects on student learning.
A meta-analysis of 96 randomized studies found that tutoring programs led to increases in learning outcomes equivalent to a student advancing from the 50th percentile to nearly the 66th percentile.
When it comes to COVID learning loss, tutoring can help students of all ages recover from COVID-related learning loss. If parents have ever considered tutoring for their children, THIS is the year to enroll.
COVID Learning Loss, Tutoring and Mental Well-Being
It’s not just education that has suffered during the pandemic; school disruptions affect students’ mental health as well as their social and emotional well-being by eliminating access to their social network. Mental health plays a large role in how students learn. When students do not feel safe or supported or feel without a strong connection to others, it affects their ability to be present and learn.
