Description

Please join us in this free webinar where you will learn about research-based after-school and core instructional day alignment strategies that support STEM learning for all students, including those from high-need schools. The webinar focuses on setting a vision for after-school learning, reviewing strategies for alignment, developing the capacity in program leaders, and profiling resources for educators to use immediately following the webinar.

Milton Chen, Executive Director, George Lucas Educational Foundation, will be the discussant in a panel of experts who bring a range of experiences as school administrators, informal science educators, and after-school professionals. They will share successful concrete strategies and promising practices on alignment which furthers STEM learning. Special attention will be given to inquiry-based approaches, project-based learning, real-world investigation, discovery, and invention.

This webinar is part of the fall series sponsored in collaboration with The California After-School Network, WestEd's Schools Moving Up, the U.S. Department of Education’s website Doing What Works, and California State University.

The goal of this three-part webinar series—Advancing Student Success: Aligning In-school and After-School Learning—is to facilitate conversations on the impact of after-school programs on closing achievement gaps and readying students for college and/or careers.
