Executive Summary of Policy Statement on Extended Learning

Description:

High-quality extended learning and development opportunities can positively impact student achievement and other developmental outcomes. This policy statement advances a broad vision of extended learning opportunities (ELOs) that includes diverse strategies designed to extend and expand the time that our nation’s children and youth spend engaged in enriching learning experiences. The statement posits that ELOs are one vital component within a range of supports and services that should be part of a highly effective system of education. Moreover, it advances the notion that high-quality ELOs are a vehicle for rethinking the time and learning continuum; a necessary element in ensuring that all students have sufficient time to develop the 21st century skills and competencies essential for lifelong success.

The policy statement affirms the critical role that state education agencies play in implementing, sustaining, and ensuring student access to high-quality extended learning opportunities and includes a diverse range of policy recommendations that are intended to advance state-level discussions focused on increasing and improving student access to high-quality extended learning opportunities outside of the regular school day.
