We can't let reading progress stagnate again. If families are productively engaged with schools around reading outcomes, a crisis like the wildfires can have less of an impact on reading growth.
The question has always been, "How?" We are setting up scalable, structured, inexpensive and realistic collaborations between teachers and families around a child's reading progress, age 3 to grade 3. Families learn about key benchmarks at each age/grade, feel validated and more confident about their roles, and ask better questions/participate in conferences as partners, not visitors. We also give parents specific, playful ways to build language and knowledge and other reading skills at home, through talking and reading together.
It's not a panacea, but it keeps the drip, drip, drip of skill building going while connecting adults and kids – which may be the most important consequence of all during these heartwrenching circumstances.
Nothing is easy when tragedy strikes. The agonizing process of picking up the pieces is just easier when supports are already in place.
If a school district isn’t implementing www.careerandcollegeclubs.org in every middle school, they’re leadership is either:
1. not looking hard enough for improvement; or
2. wedded to a more costly, less-effective intervention favored by someone with more political or financial power than students have.
This student-led cost-effective California-grown innovation for education and life planning, with an investment of $6,000 per year per middle school, helps students of every demographic background achieve post-secondary success, even in the face of COVID setbacks.
