  3. THE EDUCATION PROBLEMBehind Current Education Policy, Funding, and Practice • K-12 schools are the only places where and when children learn – this assumption is wrong. • Research shows economically and otherwise disadvantaged children have less access to non-school learning opportunities. • This Opportunity Gap substantially undermines learning and school success. • www.hfrp.org

  4. Research says… LEARNING EQUALS • Effective schools • Supportive families • Early childhood services • Health and social services • Out-of-school and summer learning • Libraries, arts and cultural institutions • Community schools and other community supports • Digital media • Colleges and universities • Others??? • www.hfrp.org

  5. Time to Change the Conversation…WHERE DO YOU LEARN? The National Writing Project is bringing students, parents and educators together to answer the question: “Where do you learn?” Join the conversation by tweeting using the hashtag #wherewelearnto share examples of where you learn and your reflections about how you support anywhere, anytime learning. • Learn more at http://digitalis.nwp.org/site-blog/where-do-you-learn-wherewelearn/6024 • See http://www.hfrp.org/family-involvement/fine-family-involvement-network-of-educators/fine-newsletter-archive/april-fine-newsletter-making-it-real-connected-learning-in-the-digital-age • www.hfrp.org
