Summer Learning Best Practice Guide- New Edition for Summer 2022

We are excited to release the Summer Learning Best Practice Guide for the Summer of 2022. This guide is designed to help districts as they develop a variety of summer programming; its aim is to offer ideas and resources from research and practice to help shape learning experiences that matter to students.

Summer Learning: Why Now?
While summer learning might feel far away and a bit out-of-reach in this moment, we wanted to get ahead of the curve and provide timely resources so you have the tools you need before you need them. We know early and robust planning is one of the most important characteristics of effective summer programs. For any typical school year, summer planning must start in the fall and winter. We acknowledge that this is far from a typical school year, and yet we care about sharing this with you for those that are ready to begin planting seeds for summer. 

This guide may also inform the development and implementation of ESSER III funding plans to address unfinished learning. We recognize the heightened need for summer learning programs to provide a strong foundation of care, connection, and healing for students and their families as our communities continue to grapple with the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Save the Date!
Please mark your calendars and join us for a series of interactive gatherings focused on bringing the ideas and content of the Summer Learning Best Practice Guide to life. All webinars will be recorded and posted on the Summer Learning webpage for your convenience.
