Summer Learning Program Development Series Session I (The Planning Stage)

Session I (The Planning Stage)

Date(s) & Time(s) October 30, 2023   ~  1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Workshop Description The Summer Learning Planning Series is a four-part series with the goal of operationalizing the National Summer Learning Association's (NSLA) Quality Improvement Cycle, utilizing the Department?s Summer Learning Workbook.

Informed by the work from NSLA and the Wallace Foundation, the summer workbook has various tasks that correspond with the planning, training, assessing, and reflecting stages of the aforementioned quality improvement cycle. Our intention is to bring alive these stages by allowing for a workshop that more intimately discusses the tasks, as well as LEA?s mission and vision for further summer program development.

To support summer learning programmers, teams, and, or leaders, the Department will be hosting virtual workshops. These sessions will run for about 90 minutes each, with the expectation of Session I: The Planning Stage sessions, which will run for about two hours. Each session will be offered twice during the same week and will be duplicative. To increase the impact of the series, it is recommended that LEAs attend one offering of each session throughout the year. LEAs can also attend sessions intermittently as it relates to the stage of interest.

The planning stage is our most extensive stage and includes 12 separate workstreams or categories. Each category groups together related tasks that will help meet one aspect of planning. For example, within the planning stage is a category called meals. Within this workstream, there are several tasks that will help ensure all the planning related to supplying meals to students is complete. The purpose of this stage is to ensure that all the logistical elements of summer programming have been addressed and carefully considered. We will support districts in understanding, addressing, and removing barriers as they begin their initial planning for the upcoming school year.
