Hey there,
Oh no! Sorry to hear, that is never a fun feeling to loose your work.
What device make / model and OS version are you on when this happened?
Are you on the latest version of Minecraft Education?
Is this a home network or school network?
Is this a commercial account or school managed account?
When did this happen? Was it after an update?

When I tried to click play and go into my world Minecraft just deleted my world, and I only have an old backup of it. The model is a Chromebook Version 118.0.5993.124 (Official Build) (64-bit). I am on the latest version of Minecraft, and I use a school-managed account. This happened about 30 minutes ago and this was not after an update.

Hey Eammon,
I'm very sorry to hear this has happened, but you may be able to recover your worlds still.
If the files are still on the device, they would be in a folder called "minecraftWorlds" which can typically be found in this path:- Play files > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds
. Since the file paths can vary on different Chromebook devices, you can search for this folder in your Files app. Make sure to click on the vertical dots in the top right and select "Show hidden files" and "Show all Play folders" to make sure your search is pulling up the right result.
The tricky part of this is that the world folders are listed with a "GUID", which is a series of letters and numbers that don't correlate to the world name that you'd recognize. Here what I would suggest finding the world and see if you can still open it:
-sort the minecraftWorlds folder by date and try to pinpoint the time you were last in the world
-open the folder that has a date/time close to the last time you were in the world
-open the file called "levelname.txt" in a text editor to see the name of the world. If it's the world you are looking for, close -the file and move to the next step
-copy the entire folder for this world to your desktop, or another convenient location
-Right-click the folder, and then select "Zip selection".
-A zip file will appear under the folder selection.
-Rename the .zip file to "[WORLDNAME].mcworld" - WORLDNAME is a name you choose that is recognizeable to you
-Double click on this file, and Minecraft: Education will launchFor very important worlds, it's a great idea to export and save your worlds after every session. https://minecrafteducation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001427948
