SUMMARY:Asking Purposeful Questions
DESCRIPTION:Asking the right question at the right time can unlock new possibilities in a child’s thinking. Learn how to craft questions that promote deeper learning in young people. Focusing on STEAM (science\, technology\, engineering\, the arts\, and math) activity\, this workshop will explore the creation and use of timely questions to maximize hands-on learning. Emphasis will be placed on creation and timing of open-ended and other types of questions. ACRES is a virtual learning option for professional development which works with small groups of practitioners. Participants will receive training and two follow-up sessions to support implementation of new skills. \nThis six-hour session will give you tools and follow-up support in implementing practices related to using questions to support youth development and informal STEAM learning. \nParticipants must register for Cohort 302PQ (Coach Sara K) when registering with this link. \nThis workshop session meets three separate times: \nSession 03/01/2024\, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nSession 03/15/2024\, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nSession 03/22/2024\, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nAbout the presenter: Sara Kobilka has worked in out-of-school programs for more than 25 years in 5 states including community education\, summer camps\, university outreach\, and science museums.

SUMMARY:"It Takes the Village!": Exploring the Role of Expanded Learning Opportunities in Improving Early Literacy Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:On January 30th\, The Education Trust–New York launched The New York Campaign for Early Literacy — a statewide movement to improve student reading outcomes\, from birth to age 8. The Campaign is a continuum of their work to ensure New York State and local school districts prioritize early literacy and the science of reading. Schools and families should not\, in isolation\, address the literacy challenge in New York. Afterschool\, summer\, and other expanded learning programs are positioned to serve as partners providing high-quality\, early literacy support. \nJoin the New York State Network for Youth Success for the release of our new policy brief to learn more about how high-quality expanded learning opportunities foster early literacy education. We will also spotlight how several afterschool and community-based organizations are promoting early literacy through innovative initiatives and partnerships. \nPanelists  \n\nTarja Parssinen\, Founder/Director\, WNY Education Alliance\nJune Muto\, Lead\, Wayne MOST (Maximizing-Out-of-School Time)\nSamuel L. Radford III\, Director of Masten Resource Center\, Community Action Organization of WNY
