Summer is a great time to make a simple plan that gets students ready for the next grade. NSLA, Learning Heroes, the National PTA, and Univision have launched Summer Stride, a research-based, bilingual, parent-resource to help families get into the summer stride and prepare for success in the school year ahead.

Social and Emotional Learning
Implementation plays a critical role in shaping outcomes of social and emotional learning (SEL) programs. Disorganized approaches can cause more harm than good.
A new brief, Preparing for Effective SEL Implementation, from The Wallace Foundation and the Harvard Graduate School of Education's EASEL Lab, recommends how to implement effective SEL programs, such as extending them beyond classrooms and allowing enough time to implement them.
The Newton Public Library in Iowa is hosting an event on National Summer Learning Day to teach children that some animals play their bodies like instruments!
