An online resource that was developed in response to the COVID-19 school lockdown in Muncie has been redesigned to help fight student learning loss during the summer months. The Education Support Hub provides information designed to make finding summer and after-school learning programs easier.
The partners, which include Ball Brothers Foundation, the Indiana Department of Education, and the Ball State University Teachers College, say the summer learning programs are available to all students to help overcome some of the lingering gaps in learning due to COVID.
“Innovative and collaborative accelerated learning activities must be implemented to increase academic momentum for all Muncie students,” said Sari Ruth Harris, assistant director, Office of Teacher Education Services and Clinical Practice at Ball State University.
Many of these programs are free or low-cost for families. It is a free service offering email subscriptions, social media feeds, and forms to request assistance or suggest updates.
