now the three organizations are officially one.

“The merger was asked for by our membership many years

Districts tackle COVID learning gaps

TRACY GOLDIZEN
C O U R I E R F E AT U R E S E D I TO R
It was a situation education
officials saw coming when
schools were shut down in
March due to the COVID-19
pandemic. The normal sum-
mer learning loss would be
compounded by an extra sev-
eral months outside of school.
“The data would show the
lower elementary is where the
pandemic made the most dif-
ference,” said Joel Pedersen,
superintendent of Cardinal
School District. He said that
makes the most sense as
that’s where students receive
foundational learning where
curriculum builds on each
other.
by the Iowa News Service,
the Iowa Board of Education
says testing results for kin-
dergarten through third grade
showed learning loss at all
levels compared to fall 2019.
Across the AEA and county,
those losses are showing up
primarily in early elementary.
“Nationally, that’s what
they’re finding. First and sec-
said Lonna Anderson, director
of elementary education for
Ottumwa Schools. “We have
pockets where we think the
pandemic hurt the most. We
do have trend data from our
fall [screening], and we can
see that the most significant
loss was in first and second
grade for literacy.”
For first grade literacy in
difference; however, those
results are screenings from
different students.
Pedersen provided num-
bers that tracked the same
students through their FAST
scores. From fall 2019 to fall
2020, students who moved
from kindergarten to first
grade in that time frame saw
a proficiency decline of 38
eled out to below a 10% decline
to no decline for those moving
from third to fourth grades.
“It’s significantly more than
what we see in a normal year,”
he said.
“When we think about that,
the students who were in kin-
dergarten with the schools
closing in March, they had
the most significant decline,”
