description:
A provocative new report shows that summer enrichment opportunities have a much more profound impact than previously believed on the academic achievement of young people. "...New insights about when and where learning takes place come from a body of groundbreaking research on seasonal learning, which highlights the connection between a child's summer experiences and his or her success in school and beyond. In so doing, the research underscores the tremendous untapped potential of the summer months to level the playing field for all of our children."
