During the webinar, we'll discuss the fundamentals of setting up a summer bridge program, what summer bridge programs can do to assist students in grade-to-grade or school-to-school transitions, and how EdReady can make those transitions as successful as possible. Dr. Benken will outline strategies for success, based on her experience with preparing students over the summer with EdReady, and we'll have the opportunity to discuss best practices, challenges and solutions, as well as data-driven outcomes that maximize student success. Be sure to join us to learn everything you need to know to set up a summer bridge program using EdReady!
