(New Research) The Argument For Year Round Schooling

New educational research sheds light in the learning impact of year-round schooling versus traditional academic calendars. --- "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst" ~ William Penn From 8:00 am start times, to 50-minute class periods, to 3-month summer vacations, our modern schooling system is rife with time-based organizational practices that have long since outlived their historic function. In Chapter 9 of my book '10 Things Schools Get Wrong (And How We Can Get Them Right)', I dive into the interesting history of these practices ... but in the interest of brevity, suffice it to say that many of these time-based rituals are maintained out of habit, tradition and routine. Although people may try to fight against them, routine is a like a moving train: it’s difficult to stop once it has momentum. In this ‘From Theory To Practice’ video, I discuss the summer vacation issue. Specifically, I look at a meta-analysis from 2019 that helps us understand the learning impact that a 3-month summer break can exact on students: Single‐track Year‐round Education for Improving Academic Achievement (Dan Fitzpatrick and Jason Burns) Here are some of the questions I tackle in this installment: • What is The Forgetting Curve, and what does it say about how long we generally retain new knowledge? • What is Spaced Repetition, and how does it effectively help you combat the normal erosion of memory? • What is the ‘summer slump’, and how far do students generally regress after a 3-month summer break? • According to the research, what is the learning impact of implementing a year-round school calendar versus the tradition 9-month on/3-month off model? • What are three practical takeaways that schools and teachers can draw from this meta-analysis? Give it a watch, and let me know what you think in the comments.
