RISE 2022 Summer Program
Leveraging Lavinia Group’s evidence-based best practices for professional development, instruction, and technology, including Lavinia Group’s proven methods for Intellectual Preparation and Student Work Study, Lavinia Group will partner with select networks and districts this summer to implement our RISE Summer School Program. The program, which can be taught virtually or in-person, will ensure that:
- The maximum number of students possible begin the year on grade level
- Teachers and leaders have tools to mitigate learning loss
- Schools leverage the summer term to implement data systems and structures that will be mission-critical in the 2022-2023 school year
- Schools have the opportunity to participate in Lavinia Group’s proven professional development structures to support and rapidly develop leaders and teachers
- Students have access to high-quality, culturally-relevant, and standards-aligned curriculum this summer
RISE 2022 Summer School Program Curriculum
At the heart of our program are the evidence-based methods and content that Lavinia Group has pioneered and leveraged to help our partner schools across the country transform student learning and improve outcomes. This summer, we will provide 5 weeks of standards-aligned daily lesson plans for rising 1st - rising 9th grade students for the following components:
Math for Meaning™ Story Problems
Grounded in the belief that ALL students are mathematicians, Lavinia Group's Story Problems curriculum and method engages students to develop multiple approaches for solving on and above grade level problems through hands-on learning and rich mathematical discourse. As students persevere through problem solving and share their mathematical reasoning, they develop the confidence and precision necessary to tackle ANY mathematical task independently while building their mastery of grade level standards.
Insight Humanities™ Book Studies
Grounded in highly-engaging, multicultural literature by award-winning and prolific authors, students will read, analyze, discuss, and write about world-class novels. This work will rapidly develop students’ critical thinking skills, passion for reading, and ability to analyze ANY novel with confidence and precision.
Close Reading for Meaning™
Using genre as an inroad, Lavinia Group’s Close Reading for Meaning™ method teaches students to use a symphony of strategies to unpack complex texts that are at or above grade level. Through a carefully designed Roadmap of Questions™, Lavinia Group’s curriculum prepares students to attend to both the essential meaning as well as author’s craft. After engaging in a shared experience with their teachers, students are given the opportunity to apply the Close Reading for Meaning™ method to a new text, honing their ability to tackle ANY text confidently and independently.
Systematic Phonics Routines
Grounded in the science of reading research and designed with the understanding that decoding plays a crucial role in learning to read and deeply understand text, Lavinia Group’s phonics curriculum includes direct, explicit, sequential, and multisensory routines that teachers can use throughout the summer and into the school year. Lessons provide consistent and systematic instruction for students and flexibility for teachers to personalize instruction by targeting existing gaps for both individuals and groups of students.
