Embedding Youth Development in Schools: A Thought Leader Conversation
July 31, 2015 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
FREE
Free Conference Call and Discussion
Friday, July 31, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET
Join us for a rich, thought-provoking discussion between Karen Pittman, co-founder and CEO of the Forum for Youth Investment, and Michele Cahill, one of the principal architects of New York Cities’ redesigned high schools and funder, while at the Carnegie Corporation, of some of the country’s most innovative high school reform initiatives. If you have already registered, there is no need to do anything else. During the call, we will dig into some big questions:
- What does it take to get youth development practices embedded into the DNA of schools?
- Why are educators ready to acknowledge the need to change structures and practices to help students build the skills and attitudes needed to achieve academic success?
- Why do school-community partnerships, especially by high school, need to push beyond coordinated hand offs and focus on shared design?
- How can the lessons emerging from the afterschool/out-of-school field be leveraged to accelerate progress in all public systems, not just schools?
Karen and Michele co-founded the Center for Youth Development and Policy Research in 1990 and have been working to get systems ready for students ever since. Michele is now a Distinguished Fellow in Education and Youth Development at the National Center for Civic Innovation.
Register now. If you can’t attend, the conversation will be recorded and sent to all who registered after the call.
Join the conversation! To accommodate questions and comments, we’ll simultaneously host a twitter chatroom. Use the hashtag #readyyouth and be heard!
