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.
