The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated school closures accelerated the increases in what some researchers described as “learning loss,” or gaps in knowledge and performance. In contrast, TLA choses an asset-based approach to measuring student learning – identifying areas of progress and the associated enabling systems and structures – rather than a deficit stance that focuses primarily on gaps or loss. Through extensive research partnerships with districts, TLA has developed guidance and resources for school and system leaders who seek to extend this work. Explore the reports and insights on “unfinished learning” below to discover how the TLA Research & Measurement team has partnered with districts to pinpoint bright spots in student learning to help districts identify and scale promising practices.
