Why Summer Learning is important?

Traditionally, summer learning, known as “summer school,” was a requirement for students to make up for failing a class during the school year and used “drill and kill” style remedial work. Arizona Department of Education recognizes that summer brings a wealth of rich opportunities to maximize student achievement by providing high-quality summer learning programs that provide academic and enrichment activities. This blend of activities can reduce summer learning loss in a captivating and engaging way. It can re-engage students and provide a meaningful boost to help close opportunity gaps, lead to higher graduation rates, and increase college and career readiness for all students.  For more information on summer programming beyond academic support, visit https://www.ncsl.org/research/education/summer-learning.aspx.

In July 2022, Governor Doug Ducey and the Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman issued proclamations supporting summer learning for all students, families, and teachers.

A History of Arizona's 21st CCLC Summer Learning Journey - How we got to 4 X 4 X 4

21st CCLC is.... Reimagining and Shifting the Climate and Culture of Summer Learning

21st CCLC is.... Reimagining and Shifting the Climate and Culture of Summer Learning Summer Learning, traditionally known as "summer school" was thought of as a requirement for students making up for failing a class during the school year and used "drill and kill" style remedial work. Awareness is building that rich opportunities are available to maximize summer by providing high-quality summer learning programs that mix academic and enrichment activities. This blend of activities can reduce summer learning loss in a captivating and engaging way. While most students learn at a similar rate during the school year, when school ends, students in underserved environments struggle to continue learning throughout the summer. As we reimagine summer learning we are recognizing the opportunity to create safe, developmentally rich settings for learning and growth during the summer months. Summer can be used to re-engage students and provide a meaningful boost to help close opportunity gaps, lead to higher graduation rates, and increase college and career readiness in students.

Arizona's 21st CCLC Summer Journey

Arizona's 21st CCLC Summer journey begins in the Fall of 2019, two Education Program Specialists from the ADE 21st CCLC team attended a National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) Conference. There they made connections with Summer Learning experts and researchers and were interested to learn that this extensive research had enabled the development of an evidence-based model of Summer Learning. They brought this information back to Arizona, where they shared with colleagues and with our advisory board, the Vision Team. Interested in ensuring successful Summer programs, Arizona's 21st CCLC team began to share the model with 21st CCLC grant leaders, working in partnership with the developers of the model (the Learning Agenda, the Wallace Foundation, and the RAND Corporation) as well as a local partner, the Valley of the Sun United Way. Working with a subcommittee of the Vision Team, the ADE 21st CCLC team has begun an extensive review of our own summer program requirements and best practices in light of this evidence-based model. This Summer Learning subcommittee agreed to meet monthly for one year to develop recommended changes to Arizona's requirements in line with this model. Given the significant efforts and resources necessary to providing Summer Learning programs, we are interested to ensure that these efforts result in impact and results for our students. Arizona 21st CCLC programs have long served as a testing ground for innovative educational practices and Summer Learning is one more area where 21st CCLC programs can continue to be at the forefront of successful models of education.

Arizona's 21st CCLC Summer Journey - Significant New Initiative

The COVID-19 Pandemic has put the learning loss usually associated with summer (often called the summer slide) front and center in the minds of educators everywhere. Summer Learning has taken on additional import as across the country, educational leaders recognize the need to support all pandemic-impacted students and give them a boost over the summer months. Summer provides a robust opportunity to mitigate and compensate for the learning loss associated with remote and virtual school as well as lost instructional time due to COVID-19. With the rollout of pandemic funding, the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA), the U.S. Education Department and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) developed a series of conversations to highlight and collaborate on best practices for Summer Learning so that states could effectively utilize the funds available for this purpose. Arizona was fortunate to be selected as one of a nine state cohort participating in this initiative to receive coached support in developing its statewide summer learning strategies. Arizona's 21st CCLC team is participating in this effort, under the lead of ADE's Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. The 21st CCLC team is jumping in with both feet and is excited to help develop a solid, state strategic plan for Summer Learning statewide!

Connecting with community educators

Community educators are a critical part of the education ecosystem and can be found in industry partners, community organizations, local businesses, and even amongst your neighbors, family and friends. However, there are also resources and databases made specifically to locate and connect with community educators who are ready to support your learning environment.

Six tips for engaging a community educator

Explore this resource to learn six tips for engaging a community educator:

1. Set the purpose of the engagement.

2. Think about unique perspectives.

3. Map your community to identify community educators.

4. Invite with clarity.

5. Collaborate together.

6. Set the visit up for success.

5 tips for community educators preparing to enter the classroom and other learning spaces

Explore this resource to learn tips that will help community educators prepare to enter any learning space, have a successful experience and make lasting, meaningful connections with learners.

1. Prepare for your session.

2. Translate industry expertise.

3. Manage the learning space.

4. Build sustained relationships.

5. Work with students during the visit.

Community educator asset map

An asset map is a visual way to identify resources within your community. A map focused on identifying community educators can help your team compile your collective knowledge into a useful resource of community educator lists, by topic or essential question. The act of creating a map of expertise can help you discover connections you already have, organizations you'd love to know about, and talents and resources near your school or available virtually.

New support roles for educator teams in online and hybrid settings

Teaching in online and hybrid settings presents both new challenges and new opportunities for distributing expertise across educator teams. Community educators (among others) may be untapped assets for teams seeking to better support students, deepen and personalize student learning, and increase the number of caring adults present in students' lives. This resource begins by defining the groups of adults who might be leveraged to support students, and then proposes the specific roles those adults might play in the learning space.

Apprenticeships are industry-driven career pathways that combine classroom instruction, on-the-job training (paid work experience), and mentorship, generally leading to a nationally recognized credential or degree. They are gaining momentum in Out-of-School Time (OST) as an alternate career pathway that supports equity in the workforce. In this guide, you will learn why apprenticeships are a useful strategy for OST staff, programs, and field leaders. The guide also identifies challenges to address and explores key elements of an apprenticeship program and promising practices.
