A Brighter Vision for Summer School
“Change the focus from narrow remediation and test preparation to a blended approach of both academic learning in core subject areas and enrichment activities that provide hands-on, engaging programming that fosters critical 21st-century skills like collaboration, innovation, creativity, communication and data analysis.”
New and Innovative summer programs attempt to stimulate students academically rather than provide sheer credit recovery or test prep classes that get kids “through” the tests. -By Judy Faust Hartnett (June 2010)
