Learning recovery has become an important part of every district's efforts to address the effects of school closures, and to provide effective support to all students regardless of socio-economic realities. Creative Brain Learning has developed educational supports that allow schools to provide their students turn-key opportunities for expanded and supplemental learning, especially during the summer months.
Research by the RAND Corporation has shown that quality summer learning programs can combat learning loss when operated at least five consecutive days, six hours per day or more, in partnership with teachers and community partners. Additionally, a study of summer time experiences of youth by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine found that youth need a balance of structured and unstructured activities for optimum development.
As a leading and award-winning provider of after school expanded learning and summer education programs, Creative Brain Learning serves many schools and districts with high quality supplemental education options that provide structured and unstructured learning activities. These options include complete after school programs online, hybrid and on site, as well as summer learning programs, enrichment classes in a variety of high interest subjects, academic tutoring, specialty workshops and more. All programs are turn-key and include specially trained staff and all student resources. Curricula are standards-aligned and outcome-based.
Academic Support and Enrichment through After School Programs
Creative Brain Learning operates grant-funded and fee-based expanded learning programs Monday through Friday following school dismissal until 6PM. Programs include academic support and homework assistance, enrichment in STEM, the arts and music, as well as daily physical education components. Programs are fully customizable and are available as live virtual, hybrid and on-site options.
Academic Support and Enrichment through Summer Education Programs
Each summer and during school holidays Creative Brain Learning provides fun and exciting learning opportunities that apply core academic subjects, such as language arts and math, with high interest topics, such as robotics and engineering, coding, video game and app design, visual arts, such as anime drawing, animation and media arts, instrumental music, and much more. Programs are offered in partnership with schools, districts, and other community-based organizations.
Academic Support through Tutoring
Creative Brain Learning provides individual and small group tutoring in core academic subjects, serving many school districts as a preferred vendor under SES and ESSA programs.
Who
Creative Brain Learning is an award-winning supplemental education provider and current partner for many school districts, such as Los Angeles Unified School District, Montebello Unified School District, Alvord Unified School District, and community organizations, such as city parks and recreation departments across the United States. Programs are taught by specially trained staff who meet all partner and company requirements. All staff is thoroughly vetted, which includes criminal background checks, TB clearances, verification of educational credentials, past employment, and more.
Staff is required to successfully complete mandatory training in classroom management, PBIS behavior management, curriculum implementation, social and emotional learning, and more. Professional development opportunities are provided on an ongoing basis.
What
As part of our after school, summer learning and other educational programs we provide unique opportunities for students to strengthen their understanding of core academic subjects and to explore exciting STEM, arts and music enrichment options. Students discover and learn robotics and engineering, computer coding, video game and app design, media arts, drawing and painting, instrumental music and more.
All programs are hand-on and project-based, providing an engaging learning experience for all learners.
Instruction is based on pupil needs to support academic performance, and provides solid opportunities for 21st Century skill building and career exploration.
When
While after school expanded learning programs take place on school days following school dismissal, summer learning programs and holiday camps usually span both morning and afternoon sessions.
Where
Creative Brain Learning provides quality programming online via its live virtual platform, as well as on site or a combination of on-site and virtual.
Why
The COVID-19 pandemic has put unprecedented strains on our education systems and families. While schools and teachers continue to provide quality education, additional resources, such as summer learning programs and after school expanded learning opportunities can effectively support these efforts. Creative Brain's turn-key options and systems make it easy to integrate summer learning and enrichment programs with your school's or district's education plan. Organizational resources, as well as curriculum supports are in place to launch effective, standards-based, and high interest educational programming with minimal effort.
Additional funding can be used to implement summer learning and after school programs, as Creative Brain Learning is in full compliance with the requirements of a community education partner.
