  2. Academic Impact and Recovery • Indiana has been a national leader in investigating the academic impacts of the pandemic on students. • Investigations have been based upon three data sources: ▪ ILEARN state summative assessments in ELA & Mathematics ▪ WIDA-ACCESS English Language Proficiency assessments ▪ MAP interim assessment data. • We begin with a brief review of terminology before reviewing last years results and showing this year’s results.

  3. What is Academic Impact? • The pandemic and all the ensuing disruptions functioned/ functions as an “academic headwind”, impeding (in general) the academic progress of students. • Headwinds impede progress in two ways: ▪ They slow one’s rate of progress (speedometer) ▪ And by slowing one’s rate of progress they lead to less distance being travelled (odometer). • In education these two impediments manifest as: ▪ Decrease in student growth (i.e. decrease in velocity = deceleration). ▪ Decrease in student attainment.

  4. Learning acceleration/deceleration • Summarization of assessment data (either for diagnostic or accountability purposes) emphasizes two types of data results: Status (i.e. student attainment) and Growth (i.e., student academic progress) • With the pandemic, emphasis has changed to look at academic impact • We emphasize that Impact is synonymous with decleration and Recovery is synonymous with acceleration ▪ Deceleration, by definition, is the change in (i.e. decrease) velocity (i.e. growth) ▪ Acceleration, by definition, is the change in (i.e., increase) velocity (i.e., growth ▪ To understand whether and the extent to which recovery is occurring, one must understand the magnitude of impact.

  5. Assessment Data • To investigate impact we utilized two primary sources of data • State summative assessment data • State English Language Proficiency Data • We investigated academic impact by using two complementary analyses: • Change in attainment: Equi-percentile scale score change (all grades) • Change in growth: Baseline referenced student growth percentile change (grades with growth) Pandemic Related Academic Impact in Indiana 5

  12. Academic Recovery 2021-2022 • Education during the 2021-2022 academic year was much closer to normal for students. • With school closer to normal, an explicit goal was to try and help students recover from losses incurred during the initial phase of the pandemic. • Our primary goal with analyses in 2021-2022 is to accurately distinguish between three situations: • Deterioration: Continued decreased rates of learning • Stabilization: A return to normal rates of learning • Recovery: Acceleration to above normal rates of learning sufficient to catch students up from last year’s impacts.

  14. Recovery • We are in the middle of compiling 2022 results across multiple states looking at academic recovery • Most results thus far for states suggest a return to typical rates of learning which suggests something between stabilization bordering on recovery to stabilization bordering on deterioration. Pandemic Related Academic Impact in Indiana 14
  15. Cautions going forward • Maintaining scales to pre-pandemic years will increasingly become challenging for states. • Two views of returning to “normal” • Is the system returning to normal. • Are students impacted by the pandemic returning to normal. • System can return to “normal” without student returning to normal — students eventually leave the system. • Status comparison increasingly become misleading: Grade 3 students in 2022-2023 were in kindergarten in 2019-2020 — Pandemic Related Academic Impact in Indiana 15
