What is Expanded Learning?

California's Expanded Learning programs are an integral part of young people's education, engaging them in year-round learning opportunities that prepare them for college, career, and life.

Expanded Learning refers to before and after school, summer, and intersession learning experiences that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students. Expanded Learning opportunities should be hands-on, engaging, student-centered, results-driven, involve community partners, and complement learning activities in the regular school day/year.

What is the Expanded Learning Strategic Planning Process?

The California Expanded Learning strategic planning process is a collaboration between after school program practitioners, support providers, the California Department of Education After School Division and K-12 educators.
