What is Expanded Learning?
According to the Website: California's Expanded Learning these programs are an integral part of young people's education, engaging them in year-round learning opportunities that prepare them for college, career, and life.
Expanded Learning refers to
before and after school, summer, and intersession learning experiences that develop the academic, social, emotional, a
nd physical needs and interests of students. Expanded Learning opportunities should be hands-on, engaging, student-centered, results-driven, involve community partners, and complement learning activities in the regular school day/year.
