With distance learning, hybrid instruction, or other disruptions to students’ educational programs, your child may have experienced learning loss or instructional loss, or maybe both. As the summer months quickly approach, TNSTEP has been receiving a lot of questions about the learning opportunities that will be available during the school break. If you have questions or concerns on this topic, please join this webinar as the TN Department of Education Special Populations shares information about the differences between extended school year (ESY), compensatory education, and summer learning programs.
