Summer learning loss hits some students harder, but there are ways to help

Summer learning loss, where the long summer vacation leads to the loss of some academic skills and knowledge in students, is a real issue for just about every child, but it hits certain groups harder than others. We wanted to learn more about this learning loss and how districts, teachers and parents can try to address it, so we caught up with Lindsay Dworkin, Senior Vice President for Policy and Communications with NWEA, a not-for-profit organization that supports students and educators.
