This database captures information about how Massachusetts school districts plan to meet students’ needs and move learning forward during disruptions from the pandemic in the FY 2020-21 school year. It tracks information including whether districts require a minimum number of synchronous instructional minutes, have plans to address social-emotional learning, prioritize different categories of students for in-person learning, and plan to administer diagnostic tests to measure learning loss among other plan components. MBAE partnered on the project with Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development, who have conducted the research under MBAE’s guidance.
