| Abstract: | For a long time, the issue of summer learning has waited in the wings, like a fully prepared understudy, ready to jump in and take the stage should the star need a back-up. Recently, though, summer learning has moved into the spotlight--and at the same time, the script is changing. Instead of memorizing and mimicking the star's lines, summer learning is writing its own script. Transcending the punitive and remedial model of summer school, summer learning's new form is an artful blend of core academic learning, hands-on activities, 21st century skills, arts, sports and meaningful relationships. (Contains 13 endnotes.) |
