MEETING THE NEEDS OF EARLY LEARNERS THIS SUMMER

Many families chose not to enroll their children in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten in the 2020-21 school year for a variety of reasons, including concerns that distance learning is not well-suited for younger students. This webinar explores how summer programs can meet the needs of younger learners and their families, especially those minimally engaged in school this past year.

Summer attendance and outreach is always difficult, especially among underserved students, and is likely to be even more challenging after a year of distance learning.
