This event is open to:
Student test scores declined dramatically in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. How much of the learning loss has been recovered? What factors are playing into students’ academic recovery? Join us as Professor Emily Oster leads a discussion on the extent of pandemic learning loss, state-level variation in score recovery, and the effectiveness of state funding approaches. She will also talk about a new AI-powered state assessment data repository tool, Zelma.
Oster’s presentation begins at 5:15pm on Monday, January 29th, followed by a Q&A moderated by SIEPR Director Mark Duggan. You are invited to a cocktail reception at 4:30pm.

Emily Oster is on a mission to help parents become more data literate, and thus remove much of the anxiety of modern day parenting. As both a parent of two, Professor of Economics at Brown University (she holds a PhD in Economics from Harvard), and Founder & CEO of ParentData, she was inspired to utilize her data translation skills to analyze the data around pregnancy and parenting to help give parents the information and tools they need to confidently make informed decisions. She is a New York Times best-selling author, whose books include Expecting Better, Cribsheet and The Family Firm and also writes the popular newsletter, . Last year, she was named to the list. Her next book, The Unexpected, hits shelves April 2024.
