By the end of the program, students in grades K through second demonstrated the equivalent of about a third of a year of academic growth. Across all grades, and in both English language arts and math, students who were performing lower at the beginning of the program showed significant growth over the course of the summer.
Now the Haslams hope to build on lessons learned last summer and expand the program in the coming months.
“We launched this program last year to address the ‘summer slide,’ a very real problem each year that was made significantly worse by students being out of school for so long because of COVID-19,” Bill Haslam said in a statement.
