Compass PD Podcast Episode 47: Ending the School Year Strong
Description
As the school year winds down, educators face a familiar adversary: the summer slide. But what if we could armor our students with the skills and habits they need to emerge even stronger in the fall? Join us as we unfold a treasure trove of strategies with Dr. Carrie Hepburn from Compass PD to prevent this seasonal educational backslide. From the importance of reading volumes to daily writing exercises, we tackle the challenge head-on, ensuring that every learner has the tools to succeed.
This episode is an ode to the power of momentum, focusing on the final six weeks of the academic calendar as a crucial period for solidifying reading and writing skills. Dr. Hepburn shares many approaches to ensure students don't just maintain but thrive, discussing the use of choice to engage reluctant readers and techniques to foster self-efficacy and independence in our young scholars.
As we wrap up, we celebrate the joys of summer reading programs and the literary adventures awaiting our students. It's a heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of reading and writing. We invite educators to join us in turning the page on the summer slide and writing a new chapter of academic resilience and joy.
