District and School Leaders’ Continued Approaches to COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery

October 2023

In this report, we continue to explore how schools and districts supported student learning and well-being as they resumed in-person schooling in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years.

We capture the perspectives of district, school, and teacher leaders to surface best practices for supporting recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We ask:

  1. How did districts approach COVID-19 pandemic recovery of student learning and wellness in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years?
  2. What strategies, if any, were common across districts or specific to local contexts?
  3. What conditions enabled or challenged district success in recovering student learning and supporting student well-being?

EPIC works with state and district partners to create a targeted research agenda to learn which reform strategies are most effective, where, when and for whom.
