ASU Preparatory Academy

ASUP will use ESSER III funding to address pandemic-related learning loss in a variety of ways. This includes supportive academic staffing for interventions and small group learning by an ELL instructor and a Teaching Fellow. The extended leaning opportunities are designed to support students transition to in-person learning and addresses the academic impact of lost instructional time. Our ASUP student body has a number who were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including English learners and children with disabilities. Our interventions were developed based on feedback from key stakeholders, the majority who requested instructional supports to ensure student learning. Additional instructional support via a STEM teacher and school-based support staff such as a security guard are being hired to help support safe and efficient school operations. The Teaching Fellow will receive SEL training via the RULER institute. These efforts are all designed to ensure that the site is able to meet academic, social, and emotional needs of our students. The site principal and school leadership team are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the extent to which the interventions meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students.
