A New Day for Learning, Part One: Exploring Full-Time-Learning Programs
What Is A New Day for Learning?
A New Day for Learning represents a growing national movement to redefine how, when, and where students learn so they can maximize potential and excel later in life. The initiative has encouraged an outpouring of programs that make learning a "full-time" focus through enriched activities during and beyond the school day, including afternoons, evenings, weekends, and summers. The following articles, documentaries, interviews, and other content illustrate these full-time-learning programs and detail how student learning can be improved throughout the day. More
