Why We Choose to Teach Saturday School at Equality Charter
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
I know growing up in the Bronx, continuing to live in the Bronx and being a mother of two Children in the Bronx, how limiting resources can sometimes be, especially in terms of weekend programming. Um because I saw that there was a void that I could potentially feel for anything that can do to kind of help our scholars um get the extra support they take me to be successful um, down to do the reason I decided that she's saturday Academy is because the more time I'm helping the students, the better I know that not everybody learns at the same pace or rate that everyone else does. Some students need a little extra support and that's not a bad thing. So that's why you might need to come to saturday academy to get a little extra practice and become stronger in mathematics. Saturday school is a program that really should be offered for every student. Um It's a place in time where students can work on skills that they need to work on, that we don't always necessarily have opportunities to do so during regular class time. Um in addition to a lot of learning gaps that were created during the pandemic, we're all at home. There's also so many variables that can affect a student's learning throughout their entire life. So saturday school is a time place for us to not just recap where we learn, but to solidify skills that are gonna be prerequisites in their future learning.
