Live Webinar:
Preparing for Extend School Year Programs
Presentation by: Kim Burke, M.Ed
June 6, 2023
1:00 – 1:45 p.m. CDT

Join us for an informative webinar focused on preparing educators for the Extended School Year (ESY) program.
Hear valuable insights and practical strategies for a successful ESY experience. This session will address the unique needs of 5th graders transitioning to junior high and 8th graders transitioning to high school during ESY.
We will discuss the program structure of six weeks, Monday through Thursday, with half-time ELA and half-time Math sessions lasting 1.5 hours each. Teachers will gain access to resources like Readtopia and ReadtopiaGo and receive training on suggested units.
We will also cover data tracking and ensure teachers have the necessary IEP paperwork. Join us to learn how to support students effectively during ESY, and don’t forget to assign licenses to year-round teachers post-ESY for smooth beginning-of-year planning.
