The Challenges

As did everyone across the nation, Maynard Elementary School also faced challenges related to the COVID pandemic and other related issues. David Byers, Principal at Maynard Elementary list down the challenges that the school faced as follows;

Challenge #1: Faced with loss of learning after covid

During the interview, the principal candidly acknowledged that the most significant impact of the pandemic on his school and students was the loss of critical instructional and learning time. Students experienced extended periods without formal education for several months, which inevitably had a detrimental effect on their proficiency levels, as clearly evidenced by their year-end state assessment results.

Challenge #2: Student motivation dropped due to pandemic

They were looking to provide intervention to students through materials which are both educational and informative, but also fun and enjoyable.

Challenge #3: Changing State Assessment from ACT Aspire to ATLAS

Transitioning from the ACT Aspire to the ATLAS State Assessment presented another hurdle for the school, especially considering the lingering effects of the pandemic on students' learning and motivation. The novel test format posed an unfamiliar challenge to both students and teachers. The educators were determined to equip their students with the necessary skills and familiarity with the new assessment standards, striving to ensure their preparedness for this unfamiliar evaluation format.
