Call for Workshop Proposals Deadline for Submission: Wednesday, April 15, 2020 | | First, we at the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) would like to acknowledge that this is a unique and unprecedented time across the world, and dynamics and circumstances are rapidly changing day by day. We are in contact with partners and allies daily in our field around strategies to support schools, families and students. We will continue to stay in touch in the coming days and weeks with important news and resources. Please feel free to reach out to us with updates, suggestions, questions or needs you have as well. Now more than ever, America will be looking to summer learning programs and leaders for solutions to support the growth and education of our young people. We are all innovating and adjusting to new circumstances to carry on our work. Providing a space to share and learn, and building a network of support for our legion of out of school time leaders will be critical as we move towards strengthening and sustaining our field and programs. Our annual national conference Summer Changes Everything™ is such a space. It will be held in Washington, DC, November 16-18, 2020 at the historic Mayflower Hotel. We are opening our call for session proposals. NSLA seeks creative, relevant and dynamic proposals for conference sessions that will enable the growing field of out-of-school time professionals to share what they have done and learned during these recent experiences and to build, strengthen, and expand life-changing summer opportunities for all young people.
The workshop sessions will advance evidence-based practices, effective partnership strategies, and leadership development at every level, as well as examine learning trends and policy implications that will have a direct impact on your work.
The deadline for proposal submissions is Wednesday, April 15, 2020. | | All NSLA workshops will fall into one of the following content strands:
- Program Quality - Engage participants in developing quality at the program level by providing concrete tools supported by research and/or specific examples from the field.
- Policy, Research & Advocacy - Highlight trends and achievements in summer learning research, policy, and advocacy at the local, state, and national levels.
- Partnerships and Community System Building - Offer practical tips and highlight research on how community-wide education systems, with a focus on out-of-school time, can lead to more youth served, high quality programs, and positive outcomes at scale.
