Redefining Education, Redefining Success
Preparing children for college, careers, and life takes more than just reading, writing, and math. To be successful, children need to develop socially and emotionally, and need to think critically, work in teams, and communicate effectively.
Out-of-school time programs provide opportunities for students to explore, learn, and develop beyond their time in school. However, we must ensure that all children and youth have access to high-quality and affordable out-of-school time learning opportunities. In order to better promote youth success, we must redefine education to include learning that takes place outside of the classroom and redefine success to include social emotional and 21st century skill development.
