Making the Most of Summer School - A Meta-Analytic and Narrative Review: Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development

Summer schools serve multiple purposes for students, families, educators, and communities. The current demand for summer programs is driven by changes in American families and by calls for an educational system that is competitive globally and embodies higher academic standards. This monograph details a research synthesis that uses both meta-analytic and narrative procedures to integrate the results of 93 evaluations of summer schools. These and other findings are then examined for their implications for future research, public policy, and implementation of summer programs.Harris Cooper is the author of 'Making the Most of Summer School - A Meta-Analytic and Narrative Review: Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development', published 2000 under ISBN 9780631221524 and ISBN 0631221522.
