The American Rescue Plan Can Rescue Education, If We Use It to Fund What Works

The American Rescue Plan Can Rescue Education, If We Use It to Fund What Works
Johns Hopkins
The American Rescue Plan was passed in the U.S. Congress this week. This $1.9 trillion bill provides funding for a lot of things I care about as a citizen, but as an educator, I’d like to focus on the portion of it allocated to healing Covid learning loss. This is $29 billion, or roughly double the usual amount spent annually on Title I. Of course, the only way to tell effective uses of new funds from ineffective uses is through rigorous research. The damage Covid has done will have long-lasting impacts, and even if schools use proven tutoring methods to help the students at the greatest risk, it is also important to build for the long haul for all students, using proven programs of all kinds.
