52.044 - Recent Research Insights Into Summer Learning Losses and Gains

Sat, April 18, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Northwestern/Ohio State

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Decades of research conclude that all students lose some academic skills over the summer, with low-income students losing more reading skills. Some argue that this summer learning loss contributes to the enduring achievement gap between low-income students and their higher income peers, rendering this topic as particularly salient for educators, researchers, and policymakers. The purpose of this session is to provide recent data on the extent of summer learning loss and to present data from randomized controlled trials regarding the effectiveness of four summer learning programs serving public school students across the country.
