4 New Evidence Briefs to Help Students During & After the COVID-19 Pandemic

Results for America

Today, Results for America and the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University released four new EdResearch for Recovery briefs that highlight evidence-based strategies to help policymakers and educators address key challenges, including:

  • How can we support students' social and emotional well-being during and after this pandemic?
  • How can we help students who are English Learners (ELs)?
  • How can community partnerships help schools and districts meet students' urgent needs?
  • What type of tutoring will be most effective to address learning loss and increase student learning?

Written by leading education researchers, the briefs share strategies to consider - and strategies to avoid - as federal, state and local leaders accelerate their COVID-19 recovery efforts. You can find them here:
