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 volume presents the most recent research on Title I federal
compensatory education programs. Over the past three decades, Title
I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has served as the
cornerstone of the federal commitment to equality of opportunity.
It is the federal government's single largest investment in
America's schools. As Title I begins a new century, this book
documents the program's history and points to the potential for its
future, building on 35 years of research, development, and
practical experience. The research and analysis it provides fills a
void for systematic information that can help inform Title I
education policies and practices.
"Title I: Compensatory Education at the Crossroads" is essential
reading for educational researchers and students working in the
areas of social stratification and equity-minded policies,
programs, and practices. It will serve well as a text for graduate
courses on these topics in education, as well as in public policy,
sociology, and psychology. Educational policymakers and
administrators at the federal, state, and local levels who are
concerned with Title I and programs for students placed at risk
will find it an important resource in crafting policies and
programs for this population of students.
