These services will be offered to students selected based on assessment data, and Paraeducators will be trained to target the specific needs of each student using the learning platforms and curriculum provided.
Why?
The intent of the these programs is to focus both on short-term literacy gaps stemming from pandemic school closures last spring and also longer-term literacy gaps that have been growing and widening since before the closures. The goal is to narrow the gaps and bring the students minimally up to grade level in literacy. This opportunity will also provide engagement between adults and students beyond the classroom, whereby students currently performing below grade level will have more eyes on them and more qualified individuals focusing their efforts to meet the students’
academic needs.
