OUR QUEST

To find a way to make LEARNING the CONSTANT and TIME the VARIABLE.

So we asked ourselves:How do we provide more learning opportunities, not to

punish kids because they didn’t learn it as fast as some of their peers, but to provide them with an

education without holes in it?

How do we motivate kids to try and to want to succeed the first time so they don’t just fail due to

their own apathy?

How do we provide opportunities for our best students to continue to grow academically?

Traditional Summer School

• Held in early June

• Majority of kids hate it

– Sick of school, they just got out

– Identifies them, only poor students attend

– It feels like a punishment

• Still have a month off for regression

Our Solution: JUMP START

Board Perspective

• Quality• Quality Indicators• Learning Styles• Retention of knowledge• Business/Community Partnership

QUESTIONS?

CONCLUSION• Kids are not all the same

– All kids can learn, but they probably won’t learn it on the same day– Not all homes are created equal

• Some kids need more learning opportunities just to keep up

• Some kids want more learning opportunities to excel • Most kids will regress, given an opportunity• If it’s truly important, you can find the money

– You just have to decide what your local priorities are
