New Day for Learning: Support for the Time, Learning, and Afterschool Task Force

About this grant

This grant will support Collaborative Communications Group in its continued efforts to support the Time, Learning, and Afterschool Task Force composed of policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and educators. In “A New Day for Learning”, the task force set forth a vision to create a seamless learning system with enriching learning opportunities throughout the traditional school day, afterschool, and year round. To stimulate the conversations among key stakeholders needed to implement this vision, Collaborative Communications Group will: 1) develop and disseminate materials that further the vision and implementation of “A New Day for Learning”; 2) support a speaker’s bureau; 3) develop policy recommendations; 4) share public opinion research that examines attitudes of parents, educators, policymakers, and community leaders regarding the ideas in the report; and 5) support meetings and conference calls for the task force.
