Teachers in Action

Training in the Classroom / High-Impact Summer Academy

Camp U - Summer Academy, 2018

Novato Unified School District

Novato, California

A team of teachers in Novato California are utilizing their summer semester to the fullest. Their students, all of which are classified as English language learners, are using the summer months to learn the skills needed to read with comprehension and write academically next year. The teachers are receiving real-time in-class coaching sessions every day during the summer academy to work on specific skills that they want to improve for their instruction next year. 

Summer has historically been a time of backslide in student achievement but here in Novato, both the students and the teachers are focusing on their performance. We are excited to see their results next year when everyone is ready to hit the ground running.
