Preventing the Summer Slide

Happy Summer from JASON Learning.

During the summer, students can fall behind 1 – 3 months academically. This Summer Slide occurs largely because the opportunities for students to learn and practice essential skills are interrupted during the summer when school is out. This is even more prevalent and may have cumulative effects, for students from low-income households – who have limited access to educational opportunities during the summer.

This is one of the many reasons that AASA has partnered with the Jason Project to provide children the opportunity to engage virtually with high level curriculum from anywhere – all summer long. With JASON Learning, every student can think like a scientist!
