This is an encore episode — and with good reason.

As the school year winds down and summer approaches, the “summer slide” — the loss of academic progress over the break — becomes a very real concern once again.

Without intentional learning opportunities, students can lose ground they’ve worked hard to gain, making each new year harder than the last.

In this conversation, Kevin revisits a timely discussion with Aaron Dworkin, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, about how the right summer programs don’t just prevent learning loss —

they help students come back stronger, more confident, and ready for what’s next.

Because summer doesn’t have to be a setback.

It can be a springboard.

This is what I know.

Meet Aaron

Aaron Dworkin is the CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, which works to ensure all young people in America, especially the most vulnerable, can access and afford a high-quality summer learning experience every year.
