Moving Beyond "Learning Loss": Drawing Constructive Lessons and Insights From Research During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Thu, April 21, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Torrey Pines 3

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session offers alternative perspectives to the lens of “learning loss” when considering the outcomes of distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than a deficit view centered on what youth, schools and communities lacked, a strengths-based approach reveals important lessons about youth agency, ways of learning, innovation, and resilience that can otherwise be overlooked. This session offers insights from research with schools, families, and informal learning environments that have implications for education research and practice as educators, learners, and communities prepare for a future that includes hybrid forms of instruction in response to dynamically changing conditions.
