Strive towards equity. While these findings signal the need for universal supports because all young people are suffering, existing and emerging research clearly illustrate the inequities that existed before the spread of COVID-19 and are likely to be exacerbated by it. Thus, it is crucial for communities to uncover and respond to their young people’s unique needs—considering how to tailor and scaffold their supports accordingly. Timely, personalized support is an essential component of mitigating the learning losses that young people are experiencing as a result of their extended time away from formal schooling and other opportunities to learn.
