Field Guide 12: Rebounding from Unfinished Teaching and Learning

Description

In Field Guide #12: Rebounding from Unfinished Teaching and Learning (the “Learning Loss”), we aim to guide school district decision-making and resource allocations in such a manner that all students and especially African American students and students from other communities of color will indeed rebound rapidly from the learning loss that resulted from the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic.

Microlearning Modules

DESCRIPTION

CCEE’s microlearning resources are short 5-7 minutes videos developed to support immediately applicable strategies, ideas, and resources for substitute teachers and other instructional staff who may not have access to more robust professional learning opportunities.

These are not meant to introduce complex ideas or lessons, but to focus on a single resource or activity to support student learning in a variety of settings.

Community Engagement Initiative

DESCRIPTION

The Community Engagement Initiative (CEI) is a five-year effort intended to strengthen the System of Support by building the capacity of school districts to authentically engage one another.

This includes identifying effective models of community engagement, developing metrics to evaluate those models, having difficult conversations, building trusting relationships and participating in the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) development process.

In the 2022-23 school year the CEI represents 44 Local Education Agencies (schools, school districts, and county offices of education) from as far north as Shasta County to as far south as Imperial County.

As part of the 2022 Budget Act, the Legislature and the Governor appropriated $100 million to expand Community Engagement Initiative (CEI) that will now continue through the 2026-2027 school year.
