As we approach the holiday season, we're constantly being reminded of how vitally important this work is. We are happy to announce that our Exhibit Hall is 64% sold out, hotels are selling quickly, and more educators took advantage of our Early-Bird registration special than ever before. Before we know it, we'll be in Palm Springs learning and networking together.

Here's what's in this newsletter:

Announcing Our 2020 Workshop Strands

We have announced our 2020 BOOST Conference Workshop Strand Sponsors. Workshop topics will be announced in the coming months, we can't wait to learn and grow with all of you!

California AfterSchool Network

The California AfterSchool Network, CAN, is a member of the 50 State Afterschool Network that works to foster partnerships and policies to develop, support, and sustain high-quality opportunities for children and youth.

CAN is a catalyst for quality, building capacity by promoting a shared vision of program quality and advancing a culture of Continuous Improvement. Their workshops are created to engage field practitioners in shaping critical tools and resources for our field in their final stages of development and promote after school and summer learning as the vehicles for social equity that they are.

LAUSD Beyond the Bell

With over 178,000 students participating daily in the programming provided by Beyond the Bell, the need for quality programs that engage and inspire students to pursue their passions continue to drive Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to remain on the cutting edge. LAUSD recognizes that kids need opportunities to design, build, create, practice, learn and thrive! Beyond the Bell is leading the charge for innovative Out of School Time programs through creative approaches to program design, collaboration, and training.

LAUSD's Beyond the Bell workshops are co-facilitated by top LAUSD staff working directly in the field. They are the practitioners that are on the ground developing, implementing and refining programs in real-time. Each of these practitioners are members of LAUSD's Core 30, an innovative unique professional development and learning community designed to expand, examine and explore best practices in education and OST programs to be directly implemented directly at LAUSD program sites.

Think Together

What began as a single neighborhood center has grown into programs in over 400 California schools – from San Diego to San Francisco – serving over 150,000 students. Founded in 1997, Think Together partners with schools to change the odds for kids. Think Together delivers nationally-recognized expanded learning and school improvement programs.

Over 20 years Think Together has built a roadmap to support student success. Workshops will cover curriculum, programs, and activities that are aligned with what students are learning during the academic school day. Each program is designed using data-driven solutions to help kids reach proficiency and achievement levels necessary to progress through school and prepare for college and careers.
