How can school districts, unions, and schools collaborate to create innovative time and prioritize expanded learning time for students?
Budgets, staffing, and negotiated agreements don’t have to place strict limits on the length of the school day.
In this archived webinar on expanded learning time, Ben Lummis, Vice President for the National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL), and Sarah Gallagher, Program Associate at NCTL, share a framework for flexibly thinking about resources to maximize the length of your school day.
Lummis and Gallagher discuss strategies that have allowed expanded time schools to stretch their resources and gain additional learning time for students while staying within their budgets and abiding by their contracts.
Some strategies explored are:
- Leveraging partnerships
- Use of technology
- Adjusting staff schedules
