How can districts design new schedules to expand learning time for students and accelerate learning? Panelists discussed reimagining the traditional school day through such strategies as partnerships with community-based organizations and community school approaches. They also discussed how high-quality expanded learning initiatives support students’ development of critical skills, as well as their social and emotional well-being, to complement learning that takes place during the typical school day. This webinar is the third of a five-part series focused on strategies to accelerate student learning and support recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
