@PrinCoachHarvey texts students and provides morning wake up calls. @KBrownTASA says schools have pizza parties to get kids to attend. Despite this, @danachambers22 notes we've seen big increases in chronic absenteeism in the past 2 years.

(5) Extended day and SY options for students needing additional support. (6) Leverage OST providers to deliver targeted tutoring (h/t @danachambers22 on these two ideas).

@alexanderrusso Districts may need to start thinking outside of the box about how to strategically staff summer learning -- https://t.co/vUmj4aDQCm

[Dana Grayson Chambers @danachambers22]

As places like @fcpsnews and @APSVirginia struggle to identify staff to support critical summer learning programs (see: https://t.co/64mpK2O8UW) they might consider some of the non-traditional approaches to staffing suggested in this brief

@arotherham @eduwonk I was thinking about this today when I saw new research on tutoring effects from @MonicaPBhatt - and wondering how important fidelity of implementation will be + the heavy lift for external orgs to implement and integrate quality tutoring during/after school (more logistics!)

[Dana Grayson Chambers @danachambers22]

Combined with the knowledge that even "lightly trained" tutors can be effective, a federally funded "tutor corps" seems like a win-win to drive employment and support student achievement. https://t.co/KF7Rsq3h3F

[Dana Grayson Chambers @danachambers22]

Research by @MonicaPBhatt shows Chicago tutoring program significantly lifted math performance for high schoolers. Time to figure out how to strategically use teacher AND tutor time and talent to close opportunity gaps. @The74 https://t.co/gmRyQH32sT
