Shout out to Ken!! He did such a great job at our Crucible of Practice last Tuesday

thank you

Feel free to add your questions and comments for Katherine to the chat or private msg me if you'd like for me to call on you to ask a question.

Who are the staff for this program...are they trained volunteers, pre service teachers, etc?

Thank you Katherine!

Who helps log the students onto the virtual platform?

This seems like a program that can assist with ongoing need, beyond pandemic-related impacts. Is there a plan to continue this program and institutionalize it for the long-term?

HI, apologies for being tardy

that's so important for continuity and trust

Great point, Katherine!

Great example of having impact on two major issues at the same time - the teacher pipeline and the critical need for high-dosage tutoring.

Thanks so much Katherine!

Thank you so much Katherine!!

Thank you Katherine!

Great Work Ms. Bassett, gave me some ideas for our 21st Century Programs

Good to see you again, Angela!

Sorry I have to hop on and off today, so will share in the chat. In terms of tutoring, Read Charlotte shared on their tutoring work with Learning Ovations’ A2i platform for a recent CGLR webinar. Tutoring work otherwise varies significantly across our NC CGLR communities. Other areas of focus in NC for equitable recovery include state and advocate-directed efforts to reform our child care system, centering family and provider voices. Also, DPI will continue to focus on summer bridge academies and changing our school readiness measure to one based on TS Gold. Lots of efforts here around Medicaid expansion and screening for social drivers of health. Sorry to miss your reports!

line up is MS, PA, DE, VA, HI, MO, IA, and NC

Angela, could you please send us information about this program via DHS? thank you!

Kudos to Angela for updating Mississippi's information!

I apologize I have to jump off, nothing particularly new here in Iowa, our legislature is still arguing over vouchers for private education, local districts have been doing RFP’s for after school and summer programming and local partners have summer programming underway. There is some language in an old bill that has resurfaced for “family mentors” if funded so need learn more about that.

I also have a hard stop at 4 so I will also share in the chat. We are in the process of wrapping up our first year of Kinder Camps or K-Camps. We utilized funds from our local healthcare systems to have school districts participate with us to address learning loss and remediation services for rising Kindergarten students who had not had a Preschool/Pre-K experience or their experience was cut off or made virtual due to COVID. We saw significant increase for from the Pre/Post Assessments of growth for the students . We had additional funds left over so most of our districts implemented tutoring supports that focused on literacy remediation as it pertains the K

KPals Benchmark scores. From the Fall scores up until mid year and now Spring benchmark scores, students saw an increase in services through the use of a one on one tutoring, use of retired teachers, a learning system called Heggerty, and other remediation services.
