Current Research on Summer
Learning Loss
Children and youth who reside in economically disadvantaged
households and live in low-resource neighborhoods are more likely to lose ground in reading over the summer
Both higher and lower-income students lose ground in math
over the summer
Summer learning programs are an important strategy for
“narrowing the achievement gap.”
Children and youth who are economically disadvantaged, have
low school engagement, and/or exhibit problem behavior are the least likely to participate in traditional summer
programming

Current Research on Extended School
Day and Extended School Year
The National Center on Time & Learning has estimated that
about 1,000 districts have adopted longer school days or
years.
School years are extended based on three basic models:
—stretching the traditional 180 days of school across the whole calendar year by lengthening spring and winter breaks and shortening the break in summer.
—adding 20 to 30 actual days of instruction to the 180-day calendar.
—dividing students and staff into groups and rotating vacations throughout the calendar year.
Most schools are experimenting with a mandated
lengthened the school day instead of a mandated
lengthened school year.

Design approaches now being used by schools/school districts are worthy of
consideration in creating effective, efficient extended school day and year programs. Approaches employed by school districts include the follow:
Make academies (intersessions) attendance mandatory for all students.
Make extended school day and school year programs cost free to all students. Provide transportation and lunch programs available for expanded school day and
year programs
Structure the programs based on student needs as determined by achievement
performance.
Employ teachers and staff specialists as program instructors and as program
