[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Based on the responses, it looks like the large-scale program of intensive tutoring that Ferebee and Paul Kihn promised to make up for a year of learning loss caused by school closures has hardly happened at all.  Correct?

Yes. They gave absolutely zero support to schools, who were supposed to just figure it out on their own. Which, was, on top of all the other things that were going on at the start of this year, a bridge too far.[/quote]

Is anyone surprised by this?  Typical DCPS with top down mandates which sound good but absolutely no plan or support where the burden is on the schools where the principal and staff are already overwhelmed in normal times let alone a pandemic.[/quote]

It was totally based on teacher participation.  It’s a lot any year to teach call day and then do an after school tutoring session.  But this year it seemed really daunting and would be a lot of work.  Only five teachers out of 40 signed up.[/quote]
