Afterschool Webinars

Want to help afterschool STEM blast off in your community? Do you struggle to convince your stakeholders that afterschool must be at the table for conversations about improving STEM education? The FrameWorks Institute has recently completed a multi-year study of what messages about afterschool and STEM expand people’s support and which are not productive.

This webinar will focus on Title IV of ESSA and opportunities for community-school partnerships such as the Student Success and Academic Enrichment block grant, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Full Service Community Schools, Promise Neighborhoods, and Statewide Family Engagement Centers. 

Deb Moroney and Jaime Singer from American Institutes for Research (AIR) will join us to talk about their resources that support the application of best practices in social and emotional learning in afterschool. Stacey Daraio from Temescal Associates and Aleah Rosario from the California School-Age will also join to discuss how the Expanded Learning 360/365 group is using AIR's Self-Reflection Tool.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed into law by President Obama last month effectively reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act – but what does ESSA mean for afterschool and summer learning program providers?

On this webinar, researchers from CASEL will provide out-of-school time leaders and practitioners with guidance on how to integrate the various frameworks for youth competence and implement effective strategies that create supportive environments for social and emotional learning.

In this webinar, you can learn how to get your students started with coding during the Hour of Code, a one-hour introduction to computer science that’s designed to demystify code and show kids of all ages that they can learn the basics.
