Our objectives for today:  Understand the concept of “Expanded Learning”  See how it can help your schools achieve their goals for students  Give you an action plan for creating a conversation about Expanded Learning opportunities in your educational community

What is Expanded Learning? Expanded Learning refers to before and after school, summer, and intersession learning programs Expanded Learning should not be seen as a simple extension of the school day. Rather, it’s an expansion of learning opportunities and experiences that are essential components of the students learning experience.

What is Expanded Learning? Expanded Learning opportunities focus on developing the academic, social, emotional and physical needs and interests of students through hands-on, engaging learning experiences Endeavors to engage students by focusing on the 3Rs – Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships Programs strive to reflect California’s Quality Standards for Expanded Learning in their design and operation.

The Impact of Expanded Learning California’s investment in Expanded Learning Opportunities is nearly $700 million per year when state and federal funding are combined, more than all other states combined. California’s state and federal investments in expanded learning support nearly 5,000 programs, serving nearly 500,000 youth on any given day. Governor Brown signed SB 1221 (Hancock) into law in 2014, which improves Expanded Learning programs’ impact on students by focusing on summer learning loss and strengthening program quality.
