Description of Service Opportunity:
OVERVIEW:
Cambridge Rindge and Latin (CRLS) consists of four learning communities that support the vision of the Cambridge Public Schools (CPS) to provide all students with rigorous, joyful, and culturally responsive learning as well as the social, emotional, and academic supports each student needs to achieve their goals and post secondary success as engaged community members.
With this in mind, CRLS will provide Summer Preview Programs in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies for CRLS students who have chosen to take a Honors or Advanced Placement class next school year and have also been identified as part of a population that has historically experienced racial and/or economic marginalization. Program sessions will be offered for a two-week period.

*Social, emotional, and academic support

2. build academic confidence in the specific subject area, with a hope of enhancing engagement and the joy experienced in class during the school year.
3. demonstrate and encourage a growth mindset as well as embrace risk taking and innovation.
Each class will focus on reviewing and reinforcing prerequisite skills as well as preventing the essential content specific skills that will promote a successful start to the school year.
