Best Practices for Running High-Quality Summer Programs

The Wallace Foundation has introduced two new resources to help districts and community based organizations create high-quality summer programs. A newly updated report by the RAND Corporation Getting to Work on Summer Learning, Second Edition explains the elements of successful summer programs, offering school districts advice on staffing, recruitment, creating a positive climate, and so much more. The accompanying online Summer Learning Toolkit, mapped to RAND’s findings, features more than 50 practical tools and planning resources to help school districts and their partners design and deliver high-quality summer programs.
