The Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) is part of The Manaiakalani Programme. This programme started as a response to the "summer slump". This is a phenomenon where students achievement drops markedly over the long summer break. The Woolf Fisher team research showed that this was endemic across all clusters and designed this SLJ programme for learners to participate in while on their summer break to engage them in tasks to sustain literacy skills.
Research from the Woolf Fisher Research Team shows that by posting more than 3 times each week students were able to make progress.
At the end of 2019 students form our local cluster were given the opportunity to join. Weekly activities were posted for them to complete. Each blog post was commented on by a team of commenters and points were issued to gamify the programme. On return to school in 2020 prizes were awarded to bloggers in each school.
