How Your School Can Use ESSER Funds

ESSER Funds can support diverse needs. At least 20% of ESSER III Funds must address learning loss through evidence-based interventions like summer learning. And those interventions must respond to students’ academic, social, and emotional needs and address the impact of COVID on underrepresented students.

How Beanstack Aligns With ESSER Funds

Summer reading with Beanstack uses data-driven gamification tools to address learning loss through reading. Students who read for fun read more, gain social-emotional learning, and perform better on standardized tests. Beanstack’s engaging reading challenges create a culture of reading that extends beyond summer and motivates all students to read.
