Using best practice principles and examples can enhance student behavior and academic performance and maximize community resources to strengthen your school and district performance.
Of the 500,000 total K-12 students in Oregon…
23% live in poverty (115,000) =Family of 4 less than $23,000/year
286,000 are Free & Reduced Lunch eligible (57%)
18,000 are identified as homeless (3.5%)
21st CCLC can break the cycle of schools reproducing inequality.
Why aren’t we making more progress? Too narrow a focus on achievement and ignoring what we know about child development. Pursuing strategies that are proven to not be successful: Pressure & Fear
Poverty is not a disability---but when poverty is ignored, it can be disabling.
Ignoring their needs is not a strategy
Resilience is a product of competence and confidence.
Many students learn best through mastery & engaged education strategies that include Mindset, team-based problem and project-based learning.

In response to requests, the U.S. Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program offers this additional information about an opportunity for states and their grantees to participate in a new professional learning and coaching initiative to enhance summer learning programs. Because summer learning loss is a significant cause of the achievement gap and one of the highest contributors to the high school dropout rate, it is a priority at the U.S. Department of Education. The Secretary of Education is particularly interested in designing effective practices and activities that engage students during the summer. 
 The 21st CCLC Summer Learning initiative is designed to provide opportunities for individualized support that will sustain ongoing partnership with states and their sub-grantees. It is important for 21st CCLC SEA contacts to participate in the summer learning activities in order to acquire current research information regarding summer learning loss, build strategies to guide implementation and monitor for effective summer learning programs and continue supporting the participating sub-grantees once the summer learning initiative ceases.  States will have an opportunity to collaborate on developing a customized schedule of professional learning and coaching based on their specific needs. These activities will occur from August 2016 to August 2017, and will inform the design and implementation of successful summer learning programs in The lessons learned from this initiative will have the potential to support the development of high-quality programs at any time of year, and will be shared with programs across the country.

9. High-Quality After-School Programs
Improved test scores & school grades
Improved school attendance & engagement
Lower dropout rates
Reduced juvenile crime
Increased awareness of healthy lifestyles
Reduced summer learning loss
A strong body of research conducted within the past ten years clearly demonstrates the benefits of investing in programs for students when they aren’t in school. Those include [review slide].
Substantial research confirms that high-quality afterschool and youth development programs positively impact social skill development, academic achievement, and risk reduction for the youth they serve. While a variety of factors contribute to quality, research shows that trained and skilled staff are essential to creating safe, engaging, interactive, youth-centered programs.
Oregon is on track to plan – with expert guidance and input -- to create Continuous Program Quality Processes to support Oregon programs in achieving positive youth outcomes by providing staff with guidelines for what quality looks like in a program setting.
