Summer enrichment opportunities can provide students access to review and support meaningful learning experiences aligned to course objectives. Required summer assignments are not allowed as they can pose barriers for students who are unable to complete them and create the perception that the rigor of a course is only accessible for those with conditions that support structured learning over the summer.
The purpose of optional summer enrichment might be to:
- Activate students’ background knowledge and skills;
- Provide opportunity to review introductory topics/prerequisites for the course; or
- Create or enhance enthusiasm and interest in a subject or to serve as a springboard for future learning.
Summer enrichment activities should not be given to learn new material or fill large gaps as a result of the pandemic. Whenever possible, it is recommended to provide students with voice and choice in their learning. Linked below are options that can be shared with students and families.
