State Approaches to Support the Effective Use of Local ARP Funds for Learning Acceleration

Join the Department’s Office of Program and Grantee Support Services and staff from the National Comprehensive Center for a conversation on the Department’s COVID response and learning recovery effort. The conversation will lift up practices shared through the National Comprehensive Center’s Evidence-Based Interventions: Using ARP Resources to Accelerate Learning Community of Practice (EBI-ARP CoP). States that participated in the first year of the EBI-ARP CoP will share State Educational Agency-level processes they developed to help Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) effectively spend the local 20% set-aside for learning acceleration. For example, attendees will learn about how SEAs worked collaboratively with LEAs to review local data and reassess initial ARP expenditures as well as select and monitor evidence-based interventions. We hope you can join us!
