Extended day/extended year program focused on grade transition and summer learning loss.
150 rising first graders from Chapmanville, Logan, Omar, Man, and Buffalo Elementary Schools.
Logan County Schools will run an extended day/extended-year pilot based on best practices for learning loss recovery, which calls for high-touchpoint one-on-one tutoring, additional learning time, individualized learning plans, cross-grade collaboration, and integrated school day/afterschool curricula.
15 teachers and 15 Early Childhood Assistant Teachers will start day learning activities in the summer of 2021, provide individual tutorials during the 2021-2022 school year and extend those same activities through July 2022. Kindergarten and first-grade educators will meet weekly to assess individual student learning impediments and plan individual learning activities that will be the focus of the intense afterschool tutoring. The Marshall University June Harless Center will provide professional development for summer and after-school experiential learning and individual student diagnostics.
Collaborative Partners: Chapmanville, Logan, Omar, Man and Buffalo Elementary Schools, as well as the Marshall University June Harless Center.
