SUMMARY:Planning for a Game-Changing Summer
DESCRIPTION:With new resources available for summer programming\, and great challenges facing our students\, we have an opportunity to make summer 2022 a game-changer for students. Programs allow students to explore\, create\, connect with peers and mentors\, and accelerate learning in an informal and fun setting. While this summer provides a tremendous opportunity to help youth thrive\, this winter is the ideal time to plan your 2022 summer programs. The Afterschool Alliance\, Every Hour Counts\, and the National Summer Learning Association have teamed up to offer a webinar reviewing what it takes to make a summer program successful\, recommendations for planning effectively right now\, and tips from program leaders. \nNikki Yamashiro\, VP of Research\, will open by sharing context on the summer landscape. Dr. Jennifer McCombs\, Director of Research at the Learning Policy Institute and one of the authors of the 2018 Wallace Foundation report “Getting to Work on Summer Learning: Recommended Practices for Success\,” will share what research tells us about planning and implementing an effective summer learning program. Summer program leaders will talk about the nuts and bolts of what it takes to put these practices to work on the ground to make a program truly effective and impactful for young people. \nSpeakers:\nJennifer McCombs\, Director of Research\, Learning Policy Institute\nNikki Yamashiro\, Vice President of Research\, Afterschool Alliance\nBrodrick Clarke\, Vice President\, Programs\, National Summer Learning Association

SUMMARY:Tapping into ARP State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to Support Afterschool and Summer Learning
DESCRIPTION:In addition to education and child care funds\, the American Rescue Plan that became law in March 2021 provides $350 billion for eligible state\, local\, territorial\, and Tribal governments to respond to the COVID-19 emergency and bring back jobs. Under the jurisdiction of the US Department of the Treasury\, the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide a substantial infusion of resources to help turn the tide on the pandemic\, address its economic fallout and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery. \nRecent guidance on these Recovery Funds makes clear that allowable uses include addressing educational disparities such as “evidence-based educational services and practices to address the academic needs of students\, including tutoring\, summer\, afterschool\, and other extended learning and enrichment programs; and evidence-based practices to address the social\, emotional\, and mental health needs of students…” This webinar will walk through the funding opportunities at the state and local level as well as provide examples of how the funds are being used to support enrichment and learning opportunities for young people. \nFacilitator \n\nErik Peterson\, Afterschool Alliance\n\nPresenters \n\nGislene Tasayco.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Join the Afterschool Alliance on Wednesday\, May 19\, at 1 p.m. EDT for a virtual briefing for media and the field on new nationwide data on children’s summer experiences\, including which children have access to enriching\, engaging summer enrichment programs and which children are missing out. The report\, “Time for a Game-Changing Summer\, With Opportunity and Growth for All of America’s Youth\,” provides insights into what the summers of 2019 and 2020 looked like for children and youth in the United States. It is based on responses from nearly 30\,000 U.S. families to a household survey examining the summer of 2019\, as well as surveys of parents and providers that shed light on how the pandemic shaped young people’s summer experiences in 2020. \nThe summer months can be a time of opportunity\, when students can form friendships\, explore new subjects\, engage with mentors\, and be active and outdoors. Commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance and conducted by Edge Research\, the new study reveals significant inequities in terms of summer opportunities in recent years. It can inform the design of 2021 summer experiences and how new federal funds allocated to summer and other out-of-school-time programs can help young people re-engage\, recharge\, and rebound from the pandemic. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nJodi Grant\, Executive Director\, Afterschool Alliance\nGigi Antoni\, Director of Learning and Enrichment\, The Wallace Foundation\nJennifer McCombs\, Senior Policy Researcher\, RAND\nSergio Garcia\, Senior Manager of Learning Systems\, Big Thought\, Dallas\, Texas\nTeresa Dothard-Campbell\, Nita M.

SUMMARY:Powerful Partnerships: Schools and Afterschool and Summer Programs Together for Student Recovery and Success
DESCRIPTION:Now is the moment! With a new vision for public schools and new funding\, it’s time to form new partnerships. \nAcross the country\, schools have been teaming up with community-based afterschool and summer program providers to support students during the pandemic\, from providing remote learning help and enrichment to meals and well-being check-ins. These partnerships draw on decades of research that show afterschool and summer programs boost academic\, social\, and emotional learning. \nWith new support from the American Rescue Plan\, schools have an opportunity to leverage support from afterschool and summer programs to help students re-engage\, re-connect\, and recover. \nThe AASA Learning 2025 Commission has called for districts to establish communities built on love\, respect\, and joy including structures of support that include multidirectional\ncommunications with community partners\, and year-round and afterschool programming. \nJoin us to explore what’s possible\, how to quickly form effective partnerships\, and how to maximize an investment in community-based partners for student recovery. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Dan Domenech\, Executive Director\, AASA\nJodi Grant\, Executive Director\, Afterschool Alliance\nDr. Ann Levett\, Superintendent\, Savannah\, Georgia\nDr. Vallerie Cave\, Assoc.

SUMMARY:Creating Healing-Centered Summer Programs
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, May 5\, 2:00 p.m. (ET)/ 11:00 a.m. (PT)\nPresenter: Megan Bartlett\, Founder\, We Coach \nThe events of the last year- the immediate and long-term impact of a global pandemic as well as the renewed reckoning around our country’s dark history of racial injustice- only add to the host of overwhelmingly stressful circumstances many young people regularly face. The epidemic of trauma threatens both the physical and mental health outcomes of youth. Summer programs offer a necessary vehicle through which to address this urgent need. \nIn order to help summer programs amplify their impact\, We Coach will provide a training to help youth development professionals\, camp counselors\, and coaches understand the impact of overwhelming stress\, or trauma\, on young people and equips them with skills to take action to support these young people. Their interactive training provides a foundation in trauma-informed practice and provides concrete strategies that adults can use immediately. The training explores three core ways that programs can maximize their healing potential: through the power of relationships\, by encouraging physical activity\, and creating manageable\, resilience-building patterns of stress.

SUMMARY:Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, March 10\, 1:00 p.m. (ET)/ 10:00 a.m. (PT)\nPresenter: Dr. Gil Noam \nThe global pandemic has thrown our schools and OST programs into disarray. Teachers\, parents\, and children alike face uncertainty\, while distance learning strains the human connections that make school meaningful. \nIn his new book\, Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond\, Dr. Gil Noam\, a Harvard psychologist\, researcher\, and educator\, shows that times of upheaval demand fundamental positive change. Rather than providing a technical manual or rigid prescriptions\, Noam introduces ten core ideas for teachers\, administrators\, OST providers\, and families to embrace both in the harrowing time of COVID-19 and in the years of reconstruction and transformation that will follow. Paying equal attention to the needs of children and the needs of educators\, he advocates for strong academic challenge rooted in productive relationships\, engaged learning\, and positive mental health. \nJoin us March 10 when Dr. Noam will discuss these core ideas of what’s important\, offering a clear path for all adults who dedicate themselves to children and youth so that each and every one learns and thrives. He will offer concrete\, evidence-based recommendations that can be implemented immediately and over time.

SUMMARY:Entrepreneur Education: Harness students’ talents and passions
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to harness the summer of 2021 to help students develop their talents and passions while becoming reengaged in their education? Entrepreneur education can help students strengthen their “entrepreneurial mindsets\,” identify skills and interests\, and explore ways in which students can apply their talents to solve problems in their lives and communities. Join this session to learn about entrepreneurial education as well as free k-12 resources and events that are flexible and can be facilitated in virtual or in-person environments\, and also support other program goals such as social-emotional learning\, career readiness\, STEM\, and service learning. \nEntrepreneurship is more than starting a business\, it’s a way of thinking and acting. It’s a mindset and set of skills. Mindsets such as creativity\, opportunity seeking\, adaptability\, persistence\, and optimism help students reframe problems as opportunities and feel empowered to exert agency in their own lives. These same entrepreneurial mindsets and skills are critical to student success\, both in and out of the classroom. They are also high-demand\, employability skills in today’s workforce. Through entrepreneurship programming\, engage your local civic\, business\, and elected leaders to participate as mentors\, guest speakers\, and pitch challenge judges and watch them become champions for your youth and your programs.
