Position Summary:
Since 2014, the KCDSB has coordinated and
facilitated Summer Learning Programs (SLPs) in its schools. Backed by research
conducted for the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat, Ministry of Education,
which revealed that SLPs reduce summer learning loss and build self-confidence
for primary students, the SLPs are organized during July. Most students
enrolled in summer learning show increased enthusiasm for learning and improved
achievement levels. These and other successes of the SLPs have been well
documented both qualitatively and quantitatively. A substantial research
project undertaken by McMaster University and the University of Waterloo, with
STAR testing as an assessment platform, clearly indicates that while SLPs
organization and structures may vary, outcomes are consistently positive and
evident. A notable aspect of the program is support for students and parents
who experience more economic and social challenges in their daily lives,
enabling them to build positive and ongoing relationships with both teachers
and school administrators.
The KCDSB SLP is a vibrant learning program with an
innovative staff focused on increasing student faith development, well-being
and achievement.
