Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite long-term and ongoing efforts to close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and advantaged students, low-income students continue to perform at considerably lower levels than their higher-income peers in reading and mathematics. Research has shown that students' skills and knowledge often deteriorate during the summer months, with low-income students facing the largest losses. Instruction during the summer has the potential to stop these losses and propel students toward higher achievement. A review of the literature on summer learning loss and summer learning programs, coupled with data from ongoing programs offered by districts and private providers across the United States, demonstrates the potential of summer programs to improve achievement as well as the challenges in creating and maintaining such programs. School districts and summer programming providers can benefit from the existing research and lessons learned by other programs in terms of developing strategies to maximize program effectiveness and quality, student participation, and strategic partnerships and funding. Recommendations for providers and policymakers address ways to mitigate barriers by capitalizing on a range of funding sources, engaging in long-term planning to ensure adequate attendance and hiring, and demonstrating positive student outcomes.

Book excerpt: This book is an authoritative examination of summer learning loss, featuring original contributions by scholars and practitioners at the forefront of the movement to understand—and stem—the “summer slide.” The contributors provide an up-to-date account of what research has to say about summer learning loss, the conditions in low-income children’s homes and communities that impede learning over the summer months, and best practices in summer programming with lessons on how to strengthen program evaluations. The authors also show how information on program costs can be combined with student outcome data to inform future planning and establish program cost-effectiveness. This book will help policymakers, school administrators, and teachers in their efforts to close academic achievement gaps and improve outcomes for all students. Book Features: Empirical research on summer learning loss and efforts to counteract it. Original contributions by leading authorities. Practical guidance on best practices for implementing and evaluating strong summer programs. Recommendations for using program evaluations more effectively to inform policy.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summer learning loss among elementary students, also known as summer slide, has been well-researched. A promising practice to combat summer slide is for schools to provide a summer learning program that is a combination of academic support and experiential learning. Just as whether or not to provide summer learning opportunities for elementary students at all is dependent on a variety of factors, the nature and scope of programs offered is also dependent on a number of factors, often determined by district or building-level educational leaders. The purpose of this study was to explore the beliefs and actions of educational leaders in Upstate New York regarding the development and implementation of elementary experiential summer learning programs in grades K-5, as well as the factors that influenced the development, program expectations, assessment, and outcomes. Data was collected by interviewing educational leaders who are responsible for the development and implementation of experiential summer learning programs at the elementary level. A qualitative design was used and data was collected from interviews with eight educational leaders in seven school districts in Upstate New York that offer experiential summer learning programs for elementary students. The data was analyzed to develop themes and findings to answer five research questions. Overall, findings indicated that there are some key factors that influenced the educational leaders to develop and implement experiential summer learning programs for elementary students in their districts. Additionally, there were a number of actions that educational leaders took to develop and implement experiential summer learning programs in their schools. Findings regarding expectations for experiential summer learning programs included providing enrichment and maintaining or growing literacy and numeracy skills. Additionally, there were three findings for how outcomes were assessed and three findings regarding results of experiential summer learning programs. Conclusions from this study indicate that educational leaders must be clearer about expectations for experiential summer learning programs, as well as assessment and analysis of data to improve programming and justify financial costs and time dedicated to summer learning programs for elementary students. Recommendations include sharing best practices at state, local, and national conferences, aligning expectations and assessment with best practices in summer learning, state and federal funding for summer learning programs, and future studies.

Book excerpt: This book brings together up-to-date, research-based evidence concerning summer learning and provides descriptions and analyses of a range of summer school programs. The chapters present theory and data that explain both the phenomenon of summer learning loss and the potential for effective summer programs to mitigate loss and increase student achievement. Summer Learning: Research, Policies, and Programs: *presents evidence describing variations in summer learning loss and how these learning differences affect equality of educational opportunity and outcomes in the United States; *discusses the development, characteristics, and effects of the most recent wave of summer programs which are designed to play key roles in the recent standards movement and related efforts to end social promotion; *examines the impact of three of the most widespread, replicable summer school programs serving students across the United States; and *considers the characteristics and effects of alternative programs and practices that are designed to combat the problem of summer learning loss head on. Intended for education researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and graduate students, this volume is particularly relevant to those interested in social stratification, equity-minded policies, implications of the current standards movement and high stakes testing, and the development of programs and practices for improving education.

This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For children and youth, summertime presents a unique break from the traditional structure, resources, and support systems that exist during the school year. For some students, this time involves opportunities to engage in fun and enriching activities and programs, while others face additional challenges as they lose a variety of supports, including healthy meals, medical care, supervision, and structured programs that enhance development. Children that are limited by their social, economic, or physical environments during the summer months are at higher risk for worse academic, health, social and emotional, and safety outcomes. In contrast, structured summertime activities and programs support basic developmental needs and positive outcomes for children and youth who can access and afford these programs. These discrepancies in summertime experiences exacerbate pre-existing academic inequities. While further research is needed regarding the impact of summertime on developmental domains outside of the academic setting, extensive literature exists regarding the impact of summertime on academic development trajectories. However, this knowledge is not sufficiently applied to policy and practice, and it is important to address these inequalities. Shaping Summertime Experiences examines the impact of summertime experiences on the developmental trajectories of school-age children and youth across four areas of well-being, including academic learning, social and emotional development, physical and mental health, and health-promoting and safety behaviors. It also reviews the state of science and available literature regarding the impact of summertime experiences. In addition, this report provides recommendations to improve the experiences of children over the summertime regarding planning, access and equity, and opportunities for further research and data collection.
