The 2021-2022 school year presented unique challenges and opportunities for parents, students, and educators. FHI 360 created this guide of strategies and resources to help instructional leaders and intermediaries serving students in grades 6-12 meet their students’ and schools’ needs. It is organized into six sections:

  • Addressing Attendance
  • Improving College and Career Readiness
  • Nurturing Emotional Well-Being
  • Igniting Learning
  • Rebuilding Relationships
  • Easing Transitions
  • Maximizing Summer Learning

Each section contains unique subsections with strategies and resources that are likely to outlive the pandemic.
