Abstract
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. schools shut down, with some areas experiencing educational disruption for more than a full academic year. Duration of closures varied tremendously across states, even within the same district, with closures in some areas among the briefest globally, while other areas experienced closures longer than most other countries. Methods of instruction were similarly variable, ranging from full-time, in-person classes to hybrid programs to fully virtual instruction. This chapter details challenges identified in pre-pandemic research on educational disruption and virtual learning, and it describes how the same issues complicated students’ adjustment to pandemic-related school closures.
