2021-2022 ESSER III/SIIP At-a-Glance

Background: The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) is a federal grant which requires that spending be used in specific areas.  Part of the Fairfax County Public Schools spending plan identifies funding to be used for Unfinished Learning and Student Academic and Social, Emotional, Mental Health (Wellness) Needs.  Schools have been given funding allocations to support the academic and wellness needs of students.  Schools are required to create plans in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Wellness highlighting the strategies they will use to support these areas using their ESSER III funding.  These strategies are shown below.

ESSER III English Language Arts Strategies

• Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts.

• Strategy 1: Teach essential standards through scaffolding, differentiation, and small group instruction.

• Strategy 2: Use evidence-based literacy resources to provide literacy skill-building across different curricula through centrally-approved resources.

• Strategy 3:English Language Arts CTs will engage in professional learning to build their capacity in intervention and remediation to support Tier 1 instruction.

• Strategy 4: Provide extended ELD support (targeted ELD support provided in addition to Tier 1 core instruction) in explicit language instruction in the domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing using math content during intervention or flexible instructional time.

ESSER III Mathematics Strategies

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

• Strategy 1: Teach essential standards through scaffolding, differentiation, and small group instruction.

• Strategy 2:Intensive 1:1 Tutoring using FCPS Secondary Math Intervention resources. (during flexible instruction time and/or after school)

• Strategy 4: Provide extended ELD support (targeted ELD support provided in addition to Tier 1 core instruction) in explicit language instruction in the domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing using math content during intervention or flexible instructional time.

ESSER III Wellness Strategies

Outcome: By the end of the 2021-2022 school year, the data from the SEL Screener, specifically question 12, will show a 10% increase in feelings of belonging and connectedness over the previously referenced 2018 climate survey data.

• Strategy 2: Minds Matter group providing students with mental health education - School Social Worker & Psychologist led  
• Strategy 3: Provide Supports for Tier 2/3 MTSS Student Engagement (Rebuilding School Engagement for Students of Academic/Social-emotional Concern)
