Reading and reflecting on a new report by Jacob Bryant, Wayne Redmond, Neil Shelat, and Casey Willis from McKinsey & Company. In it, they discuss four key themes that emerged from surveying district leaders on how they plan to spend their remaining #ESSER funds. 1. #Teacher retention is a top priority for many districts. Districts are using ESSER funds to provide one-time bonuses and other incentives to keep teachers on board, as well as to invest in professional development. 2. Districts are also focusing on #student well-being. This includes addressing student absenteeism, behavioral challenges, mental health, and physical health. Districts are using ESSER funds to hire additional support staff, provide counseling services, and implement social-emotional learning programs. 3. Many schools need critical infrastructure improvements. However, districts are scaling back spending on capital projects to focus on other priorities, such as teacher retention and student well-being. 4. Districts are also scaling back spending on learning-delay interventions. This is likely due to the high cost of these interventions, as well as the supply constraints limiting their application at scale. Continued state-level support will be needed to extend tutoring support beyond 2024 when ESSER funding expires. https://lnkd.in/gkbtBhit
