[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Class time study

[Lesley Farmer]

class time affects student test scoresSchools that cancel class for
unscheduled purposes, such as snow days, can see a drop in student
proficiency, according to findings by University of Maryland
researchers. So far, however, there's been little research on whether
additional class time can boost scores even though extended-learning
initiatives are becoming more widespread.Marcotte, Dave E. and Hemelt,
