Virtual Summer Learning 2020: Focused on Success

Collaboration. Innovation. Technology. Community engagement. Professional growth for educators. Support from parents.

All these elements are being creatively combined this year for Virtual Summer Learning 2020, the first-ever Ontario Summer Learning Program conducted entirely online.

Chi Miigwetch for sharing. I’m thinking about the similarities between story belts and wampum belts. The @ReadALotLDSB community is benefitting so much from your teaching @OntarioSLP https://t.co/mME7m4zgvc

With schools and classrooms closed this summer due to COVID-19, the teams that plan, organize and conduct SLPs—summer learning leads, Directors, teachers, assistants—have focused their energy and ingenuity on providing young learners with engaging, educational (and fun!) activities on laptops and tablets around the province.

Today’s SLP Recreation @LKDSB was student-led. We had a talent show/show and tell. It was a great way to build community and relationships with one another remotely! @OntarioSLP @MLAndersonedu @LKelempro pic.twitter.com/qGiQLVCQlN

Parent participation—a hallmark of summer learning since its inception—is even more to the fore this summer, as parents (sometimes sitting right beside their child) become active, informed participants in helping students reach their goals.

Can you guess where this Kindergarten class went on their Virtual Field trip this Friday? Love when students; with the help of amazing parents, get involved in every aspect of Summer Learning. @dsbn @OntarioSLP pic.twitter.com/rpiUmMntrr

Teachers, meanwhile, are describing their own successes in adjusting their instructional practices for virtual learning, including resource sharing and reaching out to the community for support.

There is still more summer fun and learning to come! If you share information about your SLP on Twitter, be sure to follow us @OntarioSLP, and mention us in your tweets—we feature ongoing highlights of SLPs across Ontario here on this site.
