ESSER III Goals and Strategies

Background: The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) is a federal grant which requires that spending be used in specific areas.  Part of the Fairfax County Public Schools spending plan identifies funding to be used for Unfinished Learning and Student Academic and Social, Emotional, Mental Health (Wellness) Needs.  Schools have been given funding allocations to support the academic and wellness needs of students.  Schools are required to create plans in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Wellness highlighting the strategies they will use to support these areas using their ESSER III funding.  These strategies are shown below.

ESSER III English Language Arts Strategies

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts.

Strategy 1: Develop vocabulary and morphology knowledge by explicitly teaching word meanings, word parts, and spelling.

Strategy 2: Explicitly teach high level language skills (inferencing, comprehension monitoring, and awareness of text structure) via interactive read alouds of complex texts.

Strategy 3: Ensure targeted practice opportunities for every student and additional time for those students who need more practice.

ESSER III Mathematics Strategies

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

Strategy 1: Utilize the CLT cycle to plan for and implement lesson structures and routines that elicit student thinking and reasoning.

Strategy 2: Use common assessment data to identify and plan for tier 2 and 3 scaffolds and supports.

Strategy 3: Provide informational sessions to increase Parent and Community Engagement

ESSER III Wellness Strategies
