COVID-19 and its impact on learning have affected schools, families, and students alike, prioritizing the physical and mental well-being of all involved.
Students especially need support now more than ever. According to a presentation by Julie Squire and Andy Rotherham (Bellwether), attended by e3’s educational consultant Nicole Frischknecht, schools, and students are facing entirely new challenges due to the pandemic – and the answer is outsourced support, such as after-school or enrichment tutoring programs.
Here at e3 Consulting, our educational consultants have helped struggling students adapt, develop, and find joy in the learning journey for the past two decades. However, in these past few years, our role of keeping students engaged and on track has reached a critical point of relevancy.
Learn about new issues that schools and students face post-COVID, how a customized approach can help, and how we’re combatting the pandemic’s effects on learning here at e3 Consulting.
New Learning Issues in a Post-COVID World
Currently, due to the isolation dealt by COVID-19, our school system asks schools to meet more student needs than ever before.
The isolation caused by the pandemic introduced virtual learning, and schools had to adapt. When you add students’ mental exhaustion and discomfort when transitioning to a virtual learning style, this only makes it harder for all parties involved.
Therefore, schools and families need to prioritize the physical and mental well-being of students in this post-COVID learning environment. This goes for enrichment tutoring programs too, such as e3 Consulting’s Academic Enrichment program. However, for parents to shape the most supportive learning environment for their children in this post-COVID world, it’ll require a bit of customization.
Assembling a Customized Educational Experience
No child is the same. From their personality and mannerisms to how they learn best, your student is unique – and to offer the best learning experience, a personalized approach is called for.
This is especially true with COVID-19’s effects on the learning landscape. Here at e3 Consulting, we’ve seen students’ reading grade levels significantly decline during and after the pandemic, reportedly causing the largest recorded drop in reading scores among nine-year-old students since 1990.
To support students during these challenging times, with learning options having changed so drastically since COVID-19 struck, both schools and families can take certain steps.
These steps include increasing collaboration between families, schools, and the broader community, as well as decreasing labor-switching costs between different types of education. Other concerns include equitable access to schools, inadequate infrastructure and accessibility, and the struggle of balancing accountability and innovation.
The biggest step, however, is customizing learning options to meet each student’s unique needs – a step that we’ve been taking at e3 Consulting for the past two decades.
e3 Consulting’s Personalized Approach
Parents take refuge in our approach because we’re not limited to after-school hours. We work with local schools and teachers to offer school placement assistance, for example, and can even set up on-campus visits to ensure your child’s place of learning is aligned with modern practices.
Then, once the bell rings, your child meets with one of our educational consultants for one-on-one coaching, tailored academic support, and enrichment tutoring that builds foundational skills such as self-advocacy and self-regulation.
In a post-COVID world where socialization paused for a brief period, tuning these skills early on is more important than ever. If you’re a parent concerned about your child’s learning environment after the period of COVID-induced isolation, consider enrolling them in a supportive enrichment tutoring program such as e3 Consulting.
