Beyond Tutoring Sessions: Guiding Families to Building Spheres of Learning

Ms. Phenyo, the director of The Stimulus Effect, will discuss how families and community organizations can help in reinforcing academic principles and concepts; expanding knowledge; creating and capitalizing on "teachable moment"; and, ultimately, promoting achievement outside the classroom. Additionally, free and low-cost options, across communities, of which families can take advantage along with ways tutoring organizations can coordinate with community partners--toward expanding the boundaries of learning environments, and mutually raising enrollments--will be explored. Ms. Phenyo will also share examples of how The Stimulus Effect has effectively promoted "spheres of learning" across grade levels.
