As we head into summer, many parents are concerned about what’s known as the “summer slide,” the idea that students can lose academic ground during the break, especially younger learners.
Available expert:
Dr. Paul von Hippel is a professor of public policy, sociology, statistics, and data science at The University of Texas at Austin. He can discuss topics including:
- What research shows, and what it doesn’t, about losing academic skills over the summer months;
- What is known, and still unclear, about lasting effects of the “summer slide”, including who may be most at risk;
- How access to resources and enrichment opportunities can help students learn over the summer; and
- Practical ways families and communities can support learning and development during the break.
