These sessions focused on Goal 1, 2 & 3.

1. Time, Learning and Afterschool – Opening speaker

This workshop focused on the need to make school personnel and policy makers aware of the opportunities for learning beyond the traditional school day. The workshop facilitators engaged participants in a discussion around how after school programs can enhance the school day learning of children. We also discussed an essay written by Christopher Cross called “Time Out”, which focuses on the under use of time in a child’s learning day. In addition, Christopher Cross discussed his book “Political Education”.
