For months now, public health experts and educators have been lamenting the long-term impacts of remote learning.In May, researchers estimated that by the beginning of this academic year, the average student would lose a third of their reading progress and half of their math progress from the previous year.“That was kind of assuming kind of a worst-case scenario,” said Beth Tarasawa, executive vice president of Research at NWEA, a nonprofit standardized testing company that released its findings from this fall’s assessment.“Kids remarkably have weathered pretty well in reading and those patterns both in the cross-sectional as well as the longitudinal studies really kind of highlight some good news,” said Tarasawa.But their analysis of data from nearly 4.4 million U.S. students in grades 3-8 found average scores for math were lower – between 5 and 10 percentile points– for students this year as compared to same-grade students last year.The findings represent some of the first empirical measures of how the pandemic has affected student performance.“We're moving slower, which means that we're covering less material over a certain period of time,” said fifth grade teacher Cara Koen.Koen, who has been teaching reading and math for more than two decades, says remote learning has forced her to slow her pace, especially with math.“There may be difficulties with Wi-Fi and different things from day to day” said Koen. “You have to slow down in order to reach all learners.”Kimberly Berens is a child development expert, educator and the author of "Blind Spots: Why Students Fail and The Science That Can Save Them."“Spending more time on repeated reinforced practice of skills to mastery so that when kids have gaps in instruction that are inevitably going to happen from school closures, kids getting sick or pandemics then kids will be more resilient,” said Berens.Still, NWEA’s data set is incomplete. One in four students who they tested in 2019 were missing from this year’s assessment.“They were much more likely to be African-American or LatinX or Hispanic,” said Tarasawa. "They were more likely to be from high poverty schools and they were more likely to be lower achieving in the first place.”That means that while the new data suggests some promising outcomes, we still don’t know just how severely the pandemic is impacting minority and socio-economically disadvantaged students. 2413

For religious groups around the country, technology is helping them overcome the hurdles of the COVID-19 pandemic.Alma Gonzalez chokes up as she talks about her family and how they taught the importance of faith.“I was raised by my grandmother,” Alma Gonzalez said. “Very devout Catholic and very devoted to Our Lady, and she taught me how to pray.”It was Gonzalez’s upbringing that motivated her to take part in the annual pilgrimage in Palm Springs, California.“It was a miracle to finish it,” said Gonzalez.The 34-mile walk, in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a patron saint of millions of Mexicans and Latinos, has brought together thousands in California for more than two decades.This year, organizers canceled their plans, but adapted to the current conditions.It was the first time in 15 years that Gonzalez did not participate, but she did honor the Virgin de Guadalupe from home.“I think the attitude that I’ve seen develop is we can’t do everything the way we did it before, but we will do whatever we can to keep the spirit alive and I really see that among the people,” said one religious leader.The mass in honor of the Virgin will be held with a limited number of parishioners while respecting social distancing guidelines. Also, the ceremony will be streamed live through their social media pages.“That will give people at home that can’t come the opportunity to join in the prayer and be part of the community, even if it’s virtual.”Other religious groups are implementing the same approach.Jewish temples in Cleveland canceled their large public Hanukkah events, but are using the web to stream their faith.As for Gonzalez, COVID-19 won’t stop her from worshiping during the holidays. She’ll be praying from home with her loved ones.“Do not let COVID overcome us with fear. Let’s continue with our faith and our prayer,” said Gonzalez. 1863
