Every summer, students take a break from school, resulting in crucial knowledge loss from no practice. English and Math are the most critical learning topics, where without ongoing practice, students lose critical progress over the summer. Learning loss is most prevalent between 4th-5th grade, creating an achievement gap between students of different socioeconomic statuses. In fact, 2/3 of the income-based achievement gap is attributed to summer learning loss by the beginning of high school.
When students return in the fall, teachers often have to spend time reteaching content students already learned the previous year. This course, developed in partnership with Major League Baseball, is designed to combat summer learning loss.
Since 2017, this program has reached more than 140,000 students, ages 8-11, in the U.S. and Canada.
