Summer Programs Increase Opportunity and Achievement

February 23, 2018

Innovative districts are expanding their summer programs beyond traditional remediation of course failure to meet a wide range of student learning needs. These innovative programs include options to earn initial course credit, prepare for college entrance exams, and remediate gaps in the prerequisite knowledge needed for success in the upcoming grade level. Effective summer programs increase equity and opportunity by offering a range of options that serve increasingly diverse student populations across grade levels.More recently, forward-thinking districts have introduced digital curriculum to support credit recovery efforts and to personalize student learning through prescriptive assessment. This innovation has enabled competencybased progression, and allowed for extended work outside of school time. Students can now work at their own pace, potentially faster than the pace of the class. The shift to digital curriculum also allows teachers to facilitate more than one course within a single classroom section, potentially saving districts thousands of dollars in staffing costs.
