Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning for more than 500,000 K–12 students in Connecticut, its effects remain.
“COVID really drove a huge wedge among students,” says Morgaen Donaldson, Associate Dean for Research at the UConn Neag School of Education. “If we have any hope of closing those gaps, we have to start by meeting students where they are.”
Through the Center for Connecticut Education Research Collaboration (CCERC)—a partnership between UConn and the Connecticut State Department of Education—Donaldson leads efforts to study the pandemic’s lasting impact and develop solutions to support all learners.
