More Time for Learning: Has Its Moment Arrived?

	Elena Silva

The Collaborative for Building After-School Systems (CBASS) will host a Twitter chat on Tuesday, January 24, 2 PM to 3 PM EST to grapple with ideas and questions raised by The Wallace Foundation’s recent report Reimagining the School Day: More Time for Learning. Has expanded learning’s time arrived? Where is the movement going?

Elena Silva, Senior Policy Analyst at Education Sector and co-author of the report, will share her findings and answer your questions.
