Did
you know?
Two-thirds of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth
can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. As a
result, low-income youth are less likely to graduate from high school or enter
college (Alexander et al, 2007).
The
key
to a strong summer of learning for youth is a well trained staff. They must be armed with the right MIND SET and strategies to create
summer success. Summer learning should
be an experience for youth rather than simply a program to attend.
Check
out C4K’s Summer Learning Basics and train your staff
on Facts About Summer Learning Loss, Program Spirit, Planning Your Summer
Program, Selecting and Developing a Theme, the Difference Between Traditional
Summer School and Summer Learning, Engaging Youth in Your Summer Program, as
well as the basics of high-quality program and exemplary performance. A total of fifty-nine videos have been
selected to strengthen your summer program. This staff development opportunity
is available 24/7 from any computer.
Michelle
Jenny from the Downey ASPIRE program says, “Consult 4
Kids is an important website for the [out-of-school time] field. Being able to
provide technical assistance to staff at any time is invaluable. With less time
and resources for in person training, this website fills the void. Being able
to assign videos or to have staff explore on their own, provides flexibility.”
