Building our understanding of summer learning: Near-term findings of the National Summer Learning Project

Description:

This study, the largest of its kind, is a partnership of The Wallace Foundation, the RAND Corporation, Boston Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Duval County (FL) Public Schools, Pittsburgh Public Schools, and the Rochester City School District. It looks at whether and how large-scale, voluntary summer learning programs led by public school districts, offered for two consecutive summers, five to six weeks each summer, can help improve educational outcomes for children in low-income, urban communities.
