Education beyond the Classroom: Parent Demand and Policy Support for Supplemental Learning Options
Croft, Michelle; Spurrier, Alex; Squire, Juliet
Bellwether
To counter learning loss and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, students deserve access to all available supports, including supplemental options. Unfortunately, access to supplemental options is just as disproportionate as the effects of the pandemic. Too many barriers stand between students and the supports that could help them recover and reengage in learning. Recent polling data shed light on the gap between parents' interest in supplemental options for their children and their access to them. The data highlight barriers that prevent students and families from accessing the full range of supports that can aid their recovery from the effects of the pandemic. Findings include: (1) an unmet demand for extracurricular options; and (2) information and cost are the most cited barriers to extracurricular participation, but other barriers also contribute. This report concludes with policy solutions that could help give more families access to every available resource to support their students, within and beyond the school day.
