The Summer Learning Slide: 8 Tips for Teachers to Help Avoid It!
Episode description
Unfortunately.
It’s that time in the summer where students’ brains flip the “off” switch and go into mush-mode. When they emerge in the fall, they’ve lost some of that academic progress that they made with you during the school year. (womp-womp)
It happens. And it’s not your fault. But - we can put into place a few preventative measures to help keep the summer slide less dramatic.
The thing is - I DO think students need a break. They do need to just relax and chill - just like their tired teachers do (pssst: that’s your reminder to take a break, too!).
BUT - we also can give students some fun opportunities for learning at home.
However, it’s learning that looks more like playing and exploring.
I want to share 8 things that student can do — that they will WANT to do — over the summer to keep their brains fine-tuned.
