Save the dates for NSLA’s Summer Bootcamp: Get Ready for Summer Series for program leaders and their teams, March 1-5, 2021.
NSLA won’t let COVID-19 steal the joy of summer learning and it starts with leaders like you. Program leaders and their teams are at the heart of high-quality summer learning experiences for kids across the nation and are leading the movement to make every summer count. To achieve this goal, summer learning programs must be intentionally designed, planned, and implemented to support the whole child in a safe, inclusive, high-quality experience.
The Summer Bootcamp Series will provide program leaders with the tools they need at this moment to keep kids healthy, learning, earning, and thriving through this pandemic and beyond. We’ll dive into strategies to accelerate learning, build critical partnerships, and plan successful programs with evidence-based practices relevant to any scenario of summer plans emerging this season.
