Our school system holds summers in high regard. We want to maintain a break for everyone, but we also face summer learning loss, lack of services, and social disconnection during that time. What if we could adjust the schedule to offer more proactive supports, more breaks to educators, and help kids catch up when they’ve fallen behind using high interest topics? The balanced calendar is not year around school. You’ll still get a summer but you’ll also get longer breaks spread throughout the year that make learning and teaching more humane and consistent. We’ll have David Hornak, the Executive Director of the National Association for Year-Round Education, with us to talk about his work, and we’ll have a school with us to talk about how this work has impacted them and their lessons learned. We’ll also share some perspectives from alternative learning about daily schedules, and from our school counseling perspective on how the High School and Beyond Plan can help you create more meaningful class offerings. Free Clock Hours are available each month.
