Because, according to the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and the National Summer Learning Association, students from low-income families lose an average of more than two months in reading achievement during the summer. This serious loss of previously learned skills is called the “summer slide.” What can be done to help maintain academic achievement over the summer for all children?

The doctor’s office is moving into the kitchen.
After years of telling patients to skip junk food and prepare homemade meals, a growing number of doctors and medical groups are now going a step further and teaching them how to cook. Some are building teaching kitchens or creating food pantries right next to their practices. Others are prescribing culinary education programs in hopes of improving their patients’ nutrition and overall health. Some medical schools have even introduced culinary curriculums to train more doctors to talk to patients about food.

This article explores racial disparities between assisted housing outcomes of black and white and white households with children.

Over the past decade, new research has revealed the link between early trauma and lifelong mental health issues. These discoveries have since revolutionized social work, healthcare, and early education. Policy changes enacted in response to our understanding of the biology of trauma are prioritizing earlier interventions like nurse home visiting services for at-risk families, and an increase in pre-kindergarten programs.
