Learning and practicing academic skills need not end with the regular school year. Summer learning programs provide many students with the additional support and assistance they need to maintain or even increase their achievement. Although summer school is not a *cure all* for improving student achievement, mounting evidence suggests that effective summer school programs can positively impact student learning.
To learn more about summer learning programs, please see *Maintaining the Momentum: Summer Learning Programs,* just one of several articles devoted to expanded learning opportunities programs in this month*s issue of SERVE’s periodical entitled The Vision. You may access a copy of The Vision at http://www.serve.org/publications/vision.htm (Volume 3, Number 1 is the issue on Expanded Learning Opportunities), or if you would like to receive a free copy, please call Anita Smith at (800) 352-6001 or email her at asmith@serve.org
