COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice

This book features contributions from leading experts who present peer reviewed research on how the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic affected U. S. teachers students parents teaching practices enrolments and institutional innovations offering the first empirical findings exploring educational impacts likely to last for decades. The COVID-19 pandemic presented the greatest crisis in the history of U. S. schooling with America’s 50 states thousands of school systems and tens of thousands of private and charter schools responding in myriad ways. This book brings together peer reviewed empirical research on how U. S. schools responded and on the educational and health impacts likely to persist for many years. Contributors explore how the U. S. responses differed from those in other countries with slower reopening and both reopening and modes of instruction varying widely across states and school sectors. Compared to European countries U. S. responses to reopening schools reflected political influences more than health or educational needs though this was less true in market-based private and charter schools. The pandemic was a catalyst for school choice movements across the U. S. Many parents reacted to school closings by exploring alternatives to traditional public schools including an important and likely permanent innovation small parent-created or “pod” schools. As the papers here detail long term student learning loss and health and socioemotional impacts of COVID-19 closings may well last for decades. The volume concludes by exploring teacher experiences across different sectors following the pandemic. COVID-19 and Schools will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of education education policy and leadership educational research research methods economics sociology and psychology. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of School Choice. | COVID-19 and Schools Policy Stakeholders and School Choice
