Hillsborough County Summer Learning Program

The Summer Learning Program is designed to provide continuity of learning, strengthen core content
understanding, and minimize the impact of learning loss over the summer. Research shows the
following trends: achievement typically slows or declines over the summer months, declines tend to be
steeper for math than for reading, and the extent of loss increases in the upper grades. In response, the
Hillsborough Summer Learning Program (SLP) targets the following key areas of focus: elementary
literacy and STEM, middle school grade enhancement, high school credit recovery, exceptional student
education services, and enrichment opportunities.
