Statements & Search Criteria Mission Statement Boston After School & Beyond connects school, after-school, and summer learning strategies so that young people have the opportunity to learn and thrive. Background Statement Boston After School & Beyond was founded in 2005 as the successor to two flagship initiatives the Boston 2:00-to-6:00 After-School Initiative, the first-in-the-nation municipal after-school office, and Boston s After-School for All Partnership, a collaboration of 15 local funders and the City of Boston that raised $32 million for out-of-school time efforts. This public-private partnership has allowed a variety of programs to flourish in school buildings, enabled new programs to take shape, and helped connect the learning that takes place during the school day with learning experiences beyond school hours. This leadership has put Boston at the forefront of the nation in after-school programming and innovation, both in schools and in the community. Impact Statement In 2015, BASB strengthened partnerships among 115 organizations and 70 schools, reaching nearly 10,000 youth with innovative programming. BASB convenes the Partnership Council, a growing coalition of more than 70 organizations with a shared commitment to closing the opportunity gap for Boston children. Needs Statement In order to reach our potential as an organizations, we need: Operating support of $600,000 to support core functions (convening, measurement, communications). Summer learning requires $1500/student and includes 5 weeks of high quality summer learning, 5 days a week, with a teacher at a top-notch neighborhood, cultural, or natural institution. We estimate that current partners could an additional 1,000 students, totaling $1,500,000. In order to create badges, a new credential that recognizes accomplishments and skills outside of school, we require $200,000. This would support market research, outreach to schools and programs, database development, and coordination.

Programs Boston Summer Learning Project Description Research shows that up to two-thirds of the achievement gap between low-income students and their higher income peers can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. Recognizing this issue, the City of Boston, along with the Boston Opportunity Agenda, The Wallace Foundation, and other key funders are investing in more than 1,500 new program slots to expand summer learning access. Boston After School & Beyond and the Boston Public Schools co-manage this effort. Budget 2000000 Category Education, General/Other Population Served Children and Youth (0-19 years),, Program Short Term Success Program Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success 75 programs, up from 50, participate in the Boston Summer Learning Community, collecting and sharing common data, and participating in joint professional development with teachers. These programs will focus improving the skills associated with college success-- self management, critical thinking, collaboration, and perseverance. Every young person in Boston is connected to a high quality summer learning experience that equips him/her to succeed in the next school year and ignites a passion for future pursuits. Successfully measured through valid and reliable instruments that measure program quality, from the perspectives of a trained observer and the youth participants; skill gain based on teacher observations and student self report; and academic progress based on data from the Boston Public Schools. The Boston Summer Learning Project has created over 1,000 new summer learning seats for the city's most vulnerable youth. In doing so, it has become a national model of success. In 2013, SLP won the Excellence in Summer Learning Award from the National Summer Learning Association. Additionally, The Wallace Foundation selected this project to be part of a 5 city national randomized controlled study conducted by RAND that is examining the long term effects of summer learning. Preliminary results, realeased in Boston in 2015 show a significant advantage in math, along with indicators of progress in social emotional learning. 3

Expanded Learning Opportunities for Teens Description Boston After School & Beyond, in partnership with the Boston Public Schools and with the support of the Barr Foundation, seeks to learn more about how teenagers can earn credit outside of school. The Expanded Learning Opportunities for Teens Initiative brings together a variety of organizations that offer teenagers the opportunity to earn academic credit, particularly outside of the traditional school day and classroom setting, as well as provide teenagers with non-academic credentials based on mastery of content or skills. Our partner organizations serve BPS teenagers through programs and activities that feature hands-on, experiential learning and skill building. Budget 200000 Category Education, General/Other Population Served Adolescents Only (13-19 years),, Program Short Term Success Program Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success Full engage network of 13 teen serving organization in the Boston Public Schools' credit acquisition process. Expanded Learning Opportunities for Teens aims to provide after school credit for all teenagers involved in the Boston Public School systems. By connecting community partners to the public school system, teens can experience experiential and social emotional learning. As well as creating a system for badging the experiences and skills teens acquire through out of school time learning. Successfully measured through valid and reliable instruments that measure program quality, from the perspectives of a trained observer and the youth participants; skill gain based on teacher observations and student self report; and academic progress based on data from the Boston Public Schools. In 2014 the Rennie Center released a report titled "From Schooling to Learning: Leveraging Community Resources to Earn Academic Credit," which documented the benefits and opportunities associated with teenagers earning credit beyond school. Boston After School & Beyond created a taxonomy of credit bearing opportunities, which was used in this report. 4

STEAM Description Programs that infuse science, technology, engineering, arts, and math enable hands-on, applied learning while preparing students for 21st century careers. These programs help youth increase their interest in STEAM and build the skills necessary for college and career success. Boston is home to an ecosystem that includes a rich network of places where youth can connect with STEAM in school and a variety of community settings. We connect innovative educators with researchers who study their techniques, and then share what we learn from them to help all members of the ecosystem ignite moments of discovery for the youth they serve. Budget 100000 Category Education, General/Other Population Served Children and Youth (0-19 years),, Program Short Term Success Program Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success Middle school STEAM providers adopt common tools and measures to examine interest, engagement, and achievement. These providers will work with schools to align practices with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These include tools to measure the quality and depth of programming and student engagement (which is part of a new national National Science Foundation-funded study). The ecosystem of STEAM programs participates in common measurement agenda, increasing student interest in STEAM and the skills necessary to succeed in the careers of the 21st century. Badges recognize students' accomplishments and skills and are recognized by colleges and employers. Successfully measured through valid and reliable instruments that examine program quality, from the perspectives of a trained observer and the youth participants; skill gain based on teacher observations and student self report; and academic progress based on data from the Boston Public Schools. Additionally, programs will use an instrument that measures interest and engagement. Working with BASB, Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center trained its staffs in science standards, organized activities on the island to reinforce them, and participated in common measurement that allowed them to compare progress against research based benchmarks and the performance of other organizations. 5

Advancing Quality Partnerships Description School partners can play critical roles in meeting the needs of students while stimulating their interests. Partners activate students understanding of academic content while enhancing skill development. Boston After School & Beyond seeks to demonstrate how schools and their partners can enhance student learning so that they gain mastery of both the academic content and social-emotional skills that will bring success in school, work, and life. Boston Beyond is helping eight turnaround and high support schools to measure and document their drive toward transforming the student learning experience through strategic partnerships. Advancing Quality Partnerships (AQP), a joint initiative of Boston Beyond, Boston Public Schools, and the Barr Foundation, provides support for school improvement strategies that integrate academics, social-emotional supports, and expanded learning opportunities through school-community partnerships. This effort helps to align schools and partners around measurable and specific shared goals, create an evidence base upon which to focus improvements, and provide school leaders with insights into the value partners bring to their students. Through this work, Summer Learning Project, and other efforts, Boston Beyond seeks to improve partnership management and measurement at the school and district level to increase access to high quality expanded learning opportunities in Boston Budget 500000 Category Education, General/Other Population Served Children and Youth (0-19 years),, Program Short Term Success Program Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success Scaling models of coherent and measurable school-community partnerships, and infusing these lessons into the impending extended day roll-out in Boston. All schools have a set of community partners that enable them to expand learning in order to address the needs and interests of their students. Successfully measured through valid and reliable instruments that examine program quality, from the perspectives of a trained observer and the youth participants; skill gain based on teacher observations and student self report; and academic progress based on data from the Boston Public Schools. Additionally, programs will use an instrument that measures interest and engagement. Based on work with 8 low-performing schools, BASB created a framework for assessing the stages of partnerships and their alignment with school goals. 6
