ESSER Funding Guide:

Best Practices for Maximizing Outcomes

 

Districts and states across the country are grappling with the lingering academic, social, and emotional toll the pandemic has on students and educators alike.

With the largest investment in public education in this nation's history, it is imperative that leaders invest in shaping an education system that addresses the needs of the whole child, not just academic acceleration. 

Join RethinkEd and education leaders as we discuss best practices in using ESSER funding to address the whole child.

About This Webinar

On Thursday, March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was signed into law. It includes $122 billion for the ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Fund. Funds are provided to SEAs and LEAs to help safely reopen and sustain the same operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Nation’s students.

Over the course of this webinar, Christian Rhodes, former Senior Advisor, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Education will:

  • Provide an overview of the ARP ESSER funds. 
  • Detail SEA and LEA use of ARP ESSER funds.
  • Guide allocation of reserved funds for activities and interventions that respond to students' learning loss, academic needs, social & emotional wellness, and mental wellness needs.
