Summer Learning_5-13-21-FINAL

Summer Learning for ALL



Education Equity Rationale in Support of Summer Learning Opportunities

● Achievement and proficiency declines up to one month’s worth of school year
learning

● Achievement gap is enlarged and even more so in areas of STEM

● More pronounced at the secondary levels (middle and high schools) and
within high-poverty/high-minority communities

Education Equity Rationale in Support of Summer Learning Opportunities
● Learning loss = the Achievement Gap2

● Comprehensive review of benchmark and diagnostic student data to identify learning

loss/achievement gap areas

● Learning loss programming will be built out over a minimum of two school year

calendars beginning with summer 2020-2021 planning

● Regular school year and extended programming will focus on learning loss recovery

and acceleration for all students

ASD Summer Instructional Programming

• Incoming Kindergartners will focus on phonological awareness.
• Elementary students will receive targeted instruction that focuses on a

specific standard for each grade level

• Secondary students will receive targeted instruction in grade level

standards that focuses on credit recovery, extension of grade level
standards, and credit advantage for students moving ahead

• In addition, summer camps will feature experiential learning

opportunities for students at all grade levels for students to re-engage in
learning in STEM, AP Boot Camps, Summer Math Camps, Summer
Writing Camps, and so much more….

ASD Summer Attendance

• Attendance is important to ensure academic success during summer learning to

improve summer learning loss

• Daily attendance is taken each morning for Elementary students
• Outreach occurs daily as needed

• All Secondary - attendance is required for all students

enrolled in summer learning earning credit for recovery and
for credit advantage students

• Attendance is taken every period during summer learning
• Outreach occurs on a daily basis when students are absent through

phone calls
