Learning Recovery & Extended Learning Plan

Governor DeWine has requested that schools and districts design plans that address learning recovery and extended learning opportunities to meet the needs of students that could include, but are not limited to, extending the current school year, beginning the new year early, extending the school day or instituting summer programs, tutoring, remote options, and other remedial or supplemental activities.

4 of 54

Plans should address, but are not limited to, the following key components:

  • Impacted Students: How will schools and districts identify which students have been most impacted by the pandemic in terms of their learning progress (with a focus on the most vulnerable student populations)?
  • Needs Assessment: How will schools and districts identify the needs of those students?
  • Resources and Budget: What resources are available to address those needs? Generally, what is the budget for the plan?
  • Approaches: What approaches can best be deployed to address those needs? (This may include approaches such as ending the school year later than scheduled, beginning the new year early, extending the school day, summer programs, tutoring, and remote options.)
  • Partnerships: Which local and regional partners (such as Educational Service Centers, Information Technology Centers, libraries, museums, after-school programs, or civic organizations) can schools and districts engage in supporting student needs?
  • Alignment: How can this plan reinforce and align to other district or school plans? This may include but is not limited to Student Wellness and Success Fund plans, remote learning plans, improvement plans, CCIP-related plans, graduation plans.

Partnerships

Each district or school should consider its unique needs and issues and prepare its plan in a way that responds appropriately and leverages the assets of its unique partners including their Educational Service Center and other regional and community-based partners.

Each district or school should consider a wide range of representation and voices from district and community stakeholders in planning for learning recovery and extended learning opportunities.

ACADEMIC PLANNING

Determining Academic Needs

How will instructional needs be determined?

Possible/Optional item(s) to consider:

  • Performance on tests (e.g., district assessments, statewide tests, ACTs, etc.); (Districts will not have statewide achievement data until after the end of the school year and may need to identify assessment tools to identify gaps.)
  • How will districts determine impacted/vulnerable populations?
  • How will districts/schools combat barriers for disengaged students?
  • What opportunities were missed due to the inability to access programming? Can any of these opportunities be reinstated in the summer or next school year? (Districts are encouraged to consider this question through an equity lens for student populations-- Students with Disabilities, English Language Learners, Gifted Students, All Learners, etc.)
  • Access to key opportunities (e.g., advanced mathematics, physics, higher education, interventions, etc.) may have been lost due to the pandemic.
  • Attainment (e.g., high school diploma, college degree, employment)
  • What essential elements of determining instructional needs are already in place?
  • District MTSS Process and Universal Screeners
  • Use of/Alignment with the OIP/DLT/BLT/TBT process to determine; What do students need to know? How do we know if they’ve learned it? How do we intervene for those students who have not learned it? How do we extend other opportunities for those students who have learned it?
  • Gap Analysis for ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies
  • Prioritize Literacy and Math
  • Prioritized Standards
  • Supports for IEPs/Compensatory Services, Written Education Plan (WEP) adjustments, etc.
  • Rising Kindergarteners (These students have spent a significant portion of their life in a pandemic environment. What needs might they have as they enter Kindergarten in Fall 2021?)

  • MTSS processes
  • Effective district-wide/school-wide leadership teams focusing on achievement gaps
  • Data-based decision-making - How will achievement gaps be addressed in BLTs and TBTs?

  • How can disengaged students be reengaged?
  • How can ESC Family and Community Partnership Liaisons support this work with vulnerable student populations including but not limited to disengaged students?
  • What steps will be taken to remove/overcome barriers that may be associated with the “Gap Filling Approaches” (transportation to tutoring, no data to track/identify specific student needs, funding concerns to support approaches, etc.)?
