  • Addressing Summer Learning Loss Through Summer Learning Programs
    ADDRESSING SUMMER LEARNING LOSS THROUGH SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAMS STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Research spanning a century provides evidence that students experience summer learning loss during the long summer vacation breaks. The time-off interferes with the rhythm of instruction that leads to forgetting and requires a significant amount of review when the next school year begins. On average, students perform one month behind where they were when the school year closed, and teachers spend a large part of the first two months of school reviewing material. A survey of teachers across 15 cities found that 90% spent anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks re-teaching the previous year’s subject matter. While all students feel the effects of summer learning loss, summer learning loss disproportionately impacts children from low income families. All students generally lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills during the summer months. Children from families with fewer resources; however, often lose up to two months of reading achievement while their peers maintain or have even slight gains. Proponents of the “faucet theory” argue that during the summer, academic resources for low income families are effectively, “turned off”. Middle class families, on the other hand, can provide the resources that their children may need for remediation, enrichment or acceleration activities during the summer months. Moreover, the negative effects of summer learning loss are cumulative and contribute to an achievement gap that widens over time. By 9th grade, almost 2/3 of the achievement gap between disadvantaged children and their peers can be attributed to summer learning loss in the elementary school years.

Some communities had long summer breaks that released children from school in spring to help with planting and in fall to help with the harvest, while urban schools sometimes operated on 11- or 12-month schedules. By 1900, migration from the farm to the city and an increase in family mobility created a need to standardize the time children spent in school. The present 9-month calendar emerged when 85% of Americans were involved in agriculture and when climate control in school buildings was limited.
