Bridge Conference 2011

The notion of when, where, and how children and youth learn is expanding beyond the traditional boundaries of school walls to include a diverse range of learning settings such as afterschool and summer programs, and workplace and virtual learning spaces, all of which ideally work in intentional alignment with schools to support student success. Referred to as expanded learning opportunities (ELO), this plenary will explore different approaches to ELOs to examine how they are providing supports for youth, the role of data, and how to set realistic and shared outcomes among ELO partners.
