Let’s play ball! Join industry experts from Scholastic Education and BellXcel as they “drive home” some great ways to score quality outcomes in your out-of-school-time programs. It takes the right lineup to deliver experiences that are fun and engaging and rally your students to return year after year. The presenters will talk about solutions to help ensure that your roster is ready and your “bases are loaded.” In this edWebinar, attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Understanding the ingredients the evidence shows are essential to creating a high-quality youth programming experience
• Learn how to select and implement a curriculum that keeps youth engaged year-round
• Take your youth program to the next level, making it measurable from the start to ensure you “knock it out of the park” with your desired impact

This edWebinar will be of interest to K-8 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
