The Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act requires districts to provide specific summer learning opportunities to address learning loss. To maximize the effectiveness of these summer learning opportunities, it is vital to invest time in planning and to align key decisions to research-based recommendations. EdResearch for Recovery’s recent report, Advancing Student Learning and Opportunity Through Voluntary Academic Summer Learning Programs, found that program duration, attendance, use of time, and quality of instruction appear to be key factors in programs that show stronger academic benefits.
