HOW KIDS LEARN CONFERENCE
January 27th.

Think outside the classroom—Join us as we hear from leading experts in the fields of brain research, the new science of learning and youth development. Learn from those who are using innovative learning strategies in their work with children and adolescents.

The purpose of this TED-like, one-day conference is to inform and energize OST program leaders, educators and afterschool stakeholders regarding our current knowledge on how kids learn and to share innovative approaches to promote learning outside of the classroom. In addition to hearing from cutting edge thinkers on how kids learn, participants will have the opportunity to meet innovative practitioners and Bay Area colleagues.

Registration opens in October. For more information, see the conference site: howkidslearn.org
