The Springboard course was first offered through SFUSD in 2017 and has since grown to serve 700 students at six school sites across The City.

What is the best way to teach students to read and write? This question has sparked national debate among educators, parents and everyone else with a stake in early literacy education.In 2018-19, only 52% of San Francisco public school third graders met or exceeded the standard for English Language Arts and Literacy, according to results from California’s Smarter Balanced Assessment.

According to Teresa Shipp, SFUSD’s director of college and career readiness program, the district first reaches out to families of students who they believe would benefit most from the additional instruction, asking them to apply. After that, enrollment opens up to all SFUSD students. Building off of the first meeting, the teacher holds weekly family workshops in which family members can practice reading with their child. It is at this workshop that families can receive additional coaching from the teacher on how best to support their child at home, even if their own English language literacy is limited.

To reconcile this, Arriaga said Springboard encourages teachers to be as flexible as possible. For example, teachers may offer workshops virtually as well as in person or at night for parents who work during the day. Last summer, one of SFUSD’s family workshops saw a 90% attendance rate among parents. This, alongside Springboard’s teaching approach, resulted in an average of 3.3 months of reading growth among students.
