Student test scores declined dramatically in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. How much of the learning loss has been recovered? What factors are playing into students’ academic recovery? Join us as Professor Emily Oster leads a discussion on the extent of pandemic learning loss, state-level variation in score recovery, and the effectiveness of state funding approaches. She will also talk about a new AI-powered state assessment data repository tool, Zelma. 

Oster’s presentation begins at 5:15pm on Monday, January 29th, followed by a Q&A moderated by SIEPR Director Mark Duggan. You are invited to a cocktail reception at 4:30pm.
