July 13, 2012
Welcome to the second annual Expanded Learning Time (ELT) Summit, organized by Citizen Schools and
sponsored by the Microsoft NERD center, Cisco, and the Ford Foundation.
We gather together200 educators strong from 16 schools districts across nine statesat a challenging
time in American education, in which there is declining investment for the frst time in almost a century, a
widening class-based achievement gap, and falling performance of u.S. students relative to peers around
the world. But it is also a hopeful time, full of innovation and with emerging success stories that demonstrate
that even the poorest students in the poorest neighborhoods can achieve at high levels when they are
inspired and have suffcient time with high-quality educators. We are collectively developing a new,
effective model for 21st Century American schools. Ours are the schools that provide children from some
of Americas lowest income neighborhoods with more time to practice their academic skills, more chances
to be successful, and more chances to work with the communitys most accomplished adults on real-world
projects that connect school to college and career. And we are seeing results, proving that this ELT model
can lift student profciency, increase engagement in learning, provide all children with a more well-rounded
education, and boost high school, college, and ultimately career success.
The Citizen Schools ELT model is a work in progress, informed by more than 25 excellent school principals,
by visionary district, state, and federal education leaders; by our corporate and community partners; and
by the talented, dedicated staff of Citizen Schools. This weekend, we will examine our efforts to date, share
best practices and lessons learned, and re-inspire each other for the year(s) ahead.
With this program, you have received Expanding Opportunities, a report that examines in depth the
implementation of Citizen Schools expanded learning time in 10 schools. The report cites four critical
success factors for these ELT partnerships:
1. Leadership, particularly from the school principal
2. Teamwork among strong school-day teachers and a talented second shift of AmeriCorps
members and other educators, including volunteers, mobilized by Citizen Schools
3. Data collection and sharing with all school educators to foster individualized instruction for students
4. Strong planning, especially in the months leading to ELT launch and in advance of every new
school year
When these conditions are in place, schools with ELT can make signifcant leaps in student engagement
and performance. Our fagship partnership, the Edwards School in Boston, used ELT to pivot from the
lowest performing middle school in Boston to the highest performing, as measured on standardized tests
and parent demand. Orchard Gardens, a Boston turnaround school that just fnished its second year of
ELT, is making even faster progress. When measured by student growth in the 2010-11 school year, these
two ELT schools outperformed Bostons high-fying charter schools. We are realizing similar gains in other
districts; sites in New york, Texas, and California have all posted impressive gains.
We acknowledge that not all ELT schools have launched powerfully; this has catalyzed a deeper analysis
and refnement of our selection criteria and planning process to help ensure healthy, robust partnerships.
In a small number of cases, our district partners have exited ELT partnerships for fnancial or leadership
reasons; but on average the 10 ELT sites examined in the attached reportand the 19 ELT sites we
supported this yearare making strong academic gains, attracting parents and students, and becoming
beacons of hope for their districts.
At Citizen Schools we want to help teachers and schools by providing all of our children more time to
learn, and more chances to be successful with the communitys most accomplished adults. We are confdent
that with this wind at their backs, our students will soar. Thank you for your partnership in this bold effort.
Warmest regards,
Eric Schwarz, Co-Founder and CEO
Emily McCann, President

it.

the Patrick administration maintained or expanded the states investment in critical growth sectors while
delivering timely budgets and cutting state spending. Governor Patrick funded public education at the highest
levels in the history of the Commonwealth and its school reform initiatives earned Massachusetts the top spot
in the national Race to the Top competition. And through targeted initiatives that play to the Commonwealths
unique strengths, like his landmark 10-year, $1 billion program to promote the states life sciences industry, the

GUEST BLOG: At Citizen Schools, Volunteers Make STEM Relevant Through Web
Design
Citizen Schools volunteer Sean Belka teaches kids at a school in Dorchester, Mass. to be budding web designers.
Theres lots of evidence that our students are falling behind in the STEM subjects. But should we care?
As a society concerned with progress and improving the lives of our fellow citizens, we should care deeply. STEM skills are essential to the
medical and technological breakthroughs that enable us to cure and manage diseases and to improving the ways people communicate and work
together. Equally important, these skills are often the pathway to a fulfilling and rewarding career; enabling people to make a good living, while truly
contributing to the well-being of their fellow citizens.
So what can we do about it?
I dont pretend to have a comprehensive solution to this important issue. What I do have is my own personal experience volunteering with Citizen
Schools, a national education nonprofit, as a Citizen Teacher at the Dever McCormack School in Dorchester, MA.
Our children are practical. If they dont see the value in learning something, many are less likely to fully engage. What Citizen Schools does is
enable people like me to show middle school students how they might apply STEM skills in an interesting and rewarding career. And, while its far-
fetched for me as a middle-aged suburban guy to say it makes STEM cool, it definitely helps make STEM relevant.
My experience started with my employer, Fidelity Investments. Not only did they provide financial support to Citizen Schools, they enabled me to
take time each week to be in a classroom teaching an apprenticeship.
So what did I do? Working with one of my Fidelity colleagues and a Citizen Schools staff person, we ran a web design apprenticeship. Students
created their own websites. They learned how to use email, web development templates and content management tools. They thought through
what they wanted their website to be and how it would reflect on them.
They learned how to work with others and on their own to build something, and then, they came to Fidelitys Center for Applied Technology to
present their work to their fellow students, their families and people from Fidelity and the community. They presented their work with obvious
competence and pride. They amazed everyone, including at some level, themselves.
And I can tell you they felt that being seen as a web designer made them feel pretty cool.
So what did we accomplish?
Sure, the students learned some new skills, and thats great. But more importantly, they now understand how STEM skills can open new
worlds to them and provide them options they didnt even know existed. Will most of these students become web designers? Not likely. But
do they now see the link between fully engaging in STEM in the classroom and their own futures? Absolutely.
To me, that is the real opportunity here. Kids connected to learning in a visceral and real wayseeing it as part of their lives and their (and
our!) future. Now thats pretty cool.
Sean Belka is senior vice president, director of Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT), a unit of Fidelity Investments. He also
volunteers with Citizen Schools, where he taught a workshop on web design to sixth and seventh graders in Dorchester, Mass. last spring.
