About
While students are celebrating the start of the long summer break, there’s a significant tradeoff for the three months of leisure – on average, students will return to school in the fall a month behind where they performed in the spring. And the learning loss is even greater for low-income students, who are often already behind their better-off peers.
In this EWA Webinar, we’ll look at some innovative approaches to combating these challenges, including an often-overlooked student demographic group: high schoolers left to their own devices during the vacation break. Plus, we’ll dig into some recent research on the long-term impact on teens’ academic performance when they work summer jobs.
We’ll also offer fresh takes on summer learning stories, including new public-private collaborations at the school, district, and state levels to connect more kids to high-quality enrichment opportunities.
