The conference was focused on increasing the high school graduation rate by bringing people together to discuss solutions and plan for the future.<\/p>\n<p>At the conference I had a chance to attend several breakout sessions focused on my work in the Neighborhood Tutoring Program. One of the sessions was titled \u201cProducing First Rate Readers by Third Grade\u201d and talked about the importance of school attendance, school readiness and summer programming in allowing third grade students to read at grade level. We discussed the many reasons and factors that contribute to children not yet reading at grade level by 3rd grade and we brainstormed some potential solutions.<\/p>\n<p>While listening to my fellow attendees talk about the problem and its potential solutions, I couldn\u2019t help but think about the many students we work with in the Neighborhood Tutoring Program and their volunteer tutors. Each week, they come together to focus on this mission of helping students who have fallen behind.\u00a0 Tutoring programs like FLOC\u2019s are unique and are truly focused on solving the issue at hand \u2013 we want all of our students to be reading at grade level. We work hard to ensure that tutors and students are on track to accomplish this goal.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for my time at the conference, but I left feeling even more grateful to be a part of something as important as the work we do here at FLOC.\u00a0 Now to start planning our summer program\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Lana Slack is the NTP Program Manager at FLOC).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Monday and Tuesday (February 25th and 26th), I had the pleasure of attending the 2013 Building a Grad Nation Summit here in Washington, DC. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[48],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Building a Grad Nation, Starting with FLOC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Building a Grad Nation, Starting with FLOC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This past Monday and Tuesday (February 25th and 26th), I had the pleasure of attending the 2013 Building a Grad Nation Summit here in Washington, DC.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/building-a-grad-nation-starting-with-floc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"FLOC-For the Love of Children\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-03-06T11:12:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-10-05T11:13:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/colin1-300x200.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"StaffFloc\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\">\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3982"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3982"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3984,"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3982\/revisions\/3984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<br />
