                                    -        
On Wednesday, Oct.  26, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) will host Raising the Bar: Literacy & Math Series to Address Academic  Recovery—the first of five sessions focused on evidence-based  strategies and programs to boost student literacy and math outcomes. These  sessions, which will occur monthly through February 2023, are part of the  Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing efforts to support and accelerate the  academic recovery of students from the impact of the pandemic. They will focus  on sustained, cohesive efforts to improve educational practice.  

President Biden  knew that a once-in-a generation pandemic would have a once-in-a-generation  impact on our nation’s students. That’s why the Department has focused since  Day One on safely reopening schools, helping students recover academically, and  supporting their mental health. National Assessment of Educational Progress  (NAEP) results released earlier this week are a rallying cry to local, state,  and national leaders to redouble their efforts to support learning recovery.  These results also show how critical the Administration’s work was and  continues to be to get and keep students back in classrooms, as well as the  urgent need to get American Rescue Plan (ARP) dollars into communities to  accelerate academic recovery and provide mental health supports to  students.  

ARP funds are  enabling states and schools to tackle academic recovery head-on: schools across  the country are implementing programs to accelerate learning through integrated  and targeted supports, high-quality instruction, providing evidence-based  tutoring, and expanding high-quality out-of-school time. The Literacy and Math  series will bring practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and parents and families  together to identify strategies that are especially promising and discuss how  ARP and other resources can support their replication in a variety of State and  local contexts. 

The kickoff event  this Wednesday will focus broadly on academic recovery and will set the  foundation for four subsequent sessions that will include: 
- Learning  research-based practices from content experts
- Highlighting  promising practices from SEAs and districts
- Leveraging  ARP funding to implement literacy and math achievement best practices at scale
- Offering  dedicated time and expertise to support action planning (i.e., guided working  sessions and support from technical assistance providers).
