Description

A two-wave fixed-response and Likert-scale survey instrument developed and administered by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) to document charter-school responses to COVID-19 closures.

Components

Claims

• Nearly 80 percent of surveyed charter schools operated fully remotely in April 2020, falling to about half by the 2020-21 school year [+W]
• Nearly all surveyed charter schools provided remote-learning professional development to teachers, compared with under half of district reopening plans [+W]
• Surveyed charter schools transitioned to remote education delivery in less than a week after physical closure in March 2020, averaging 3.5 days [+W]
• Schools reported that about 40 percent of their students experienced considerable or major academic losses since March 2020 [+W]
• Schools reported covering 86 percent of the ELA and 85 percent of the math curriculum in 2019-20, with foreign language and fine arts least covered [+W]
• Communication challenges were the most reported barrier to supporting English language learner students, cited by 63 percent of schools [+W]
• Planning start time was unrelated to how quickly schools began remote instruction; schools averaged 3 school days between building closure and the start of instruction [+W]
• During COVID building closures, New York charter schools ranked sustaining student learning and engagement as their most urgent priority, while student well-being factors ranked lowest despite serious concern [+W]
• Most New York charter schools reported decreases in learning time across subjects during closure, with low prior reading proficiency associated with larger ELA/Reading time losses [+W]
