Educators say some kids are still showing developmental delays due to the isolations and shutdowns. So, what's being done to make sure they don't fall even more behind?
With summer break coming to a close, kids are getting ready to head back to class, but as the calendar flips to September, some students still haven't turned the corner from 2020 and are struggling to catch up following the pandemic.
"There were kids excited to come back and then there were kids terrified to come back," said McDevitt, who teaches 4th grade. "Maybe they lost somebody at home. Maybe there were dealing with a lack of technology at home so they fell behind academically." At the Meadow School, one of five elementary schools in Baldwin, redesigned classrooms encourage student collaboration. A professional learning lab helps teachers develop critical thinking. Students having trouble getting through the school day can find comfort in a center focused on academic and emotional wellness.
"Let's say I have a student who comes in the morning and repeatedly they are tired," Sanacore said. "They come in every single day - they are tired. OK. Now I'm noticing that pattern and I want to elaborate. I want to speak with the child and I want to see what is really going on behind that."
