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.
