Research shows that while kids from middle or higher income families maintain or improve their reading skills over the summer, kids from lower income families slip behind. They also experience summer losses in math skills.
The Center for After-School Excellence invites you to a forum to examine the latest research and practice aimed at fighting summer learning loss among kids. Hear about how well-designed summer programs can provide kids with activities that excite and engage them, and integrate academics to prevent kids from losing ground on math and literacy skills.
This is an opportunity to discuss research and policy changes to help create opportunities for high-quality summer learning for all kids. Bring your questions about how to design activities and prepare staff to run summer programs that produce best outcomes.
This is the third forum offered by The Center for After-School Excellence. If you are interested in registering or learning more about the event and The Center, please visit: http://afterschoolexcellence.eventbrite.com.
The Center for After-School Excellence is a new non-profit initiative seeking to ensure that kids in after-school programs are served by the best trained, best equipped staff possible. Launched in 2006 by The After-School Corporation (TASC), the Center's mission is to improve the quality of after-school programs in New York City and beyond by building a system of professional development supported by ongoing research and policy analysis.
