Public Reporting of Educational Disruption: Definitions and Comparability
A standards interpretation of closure, participation, continuity, coverage and valid comparison
Educational disruption should be reported through defined institutional and learner states. In relation to public reporting of educational disruption, this proposition bears directly on the issue under review within Executive summary: whether definitions and time bases permit responsible comparison; the authority should identify the affected population, accountable body and review point. A nationwide closure announcement, local building closure, adjusted calendar, partial opening, remote offer, learner contact and effective participation are not interchangeable. Public reporting should state the responsible authority, geographic coverage, institutions and levels affected, start and end dates, exceptions and revision.
