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 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.
