ENCOMPASS OST PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Programs provide an af terschool learning and enrichment opportunity for in Rochester and surrounding communities. The hallmark of EnCompass OST programs is the combination of targeted tutoring and inquir y -based learning oppor tunities.
Targeted Academic Tutoring
- Youth academic skills, performance and behaviors are supported within the targeted tutoring opportunities provided on a daily basis. Youth work directly with an Academic Coach in small groups to address academic skills and performance specifically in the areas of ELA and math. Individualized learning goals are established for each youth.
Inquir y-Based Learning
- opportunities for students to explore, inquire, and discuss topics relating to a chosen inquiry are incorporated on a daily basis. The inquiry -based learning opportunities promote a cohesive learning community fostering social -emotional competencies (e.g., self management, peer social skills) as well as academic skill development. Health and wellness components are embedded through health snacks and meals, oppor tunities for physical activity and/or field trips and regular tracking of wellness through food and physical activity logs .
EnCompass is committed to data -driven instruction and programming. Immediate and long-term outcomes are identified. Student and program measures are linked to outcomes and align with program values and essential elements.
CCLS IN PRACTICE FOR OST PROGRAMS
Front and Center on the National Stage in Education: Common Core State Standards (CCSS) & Curricular Examples Annual Professional Performance Reviews (APPR) Response to Intervention (RtI) Student Learning Objectives (SLO) Objectives for Presentation: Understand origins and implementation of Common Core Recognize application of Common Core to OST Programs Identify 2-3 means to align OST programs with Common Core
COMMON CORE LEARNING STANDARDS
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state -led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K -12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry -level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs.
TIMELINE: HOW DID WE GET HERE?
July 2010-NY State Regents adopt the Common Core Standards August 2010-NY wins a Race to the Top grant of nearly $700,000,000 January 2011-NY adopts the final version of the Common Core which includes the NYS additions
THE FOCUS IS ON…
Making students “college and career ready” About 1/3 of college students in 2007-2008 took a remedial course Making students ready for the 21 st century Achieving this through: Common Core Standards Data driven instruction Principal and teacher effectiveness

EXTENDED LEARNING TIME-ACADEMIC IMPLICATIONS
Time & Support
EXTENDED LEARNING TIME-ACADEMIC IMPLICATIONS
“The research warrant for afterschool and summer learning programs is clear: Children and you who participate in well implemented programs and activities outside of school are poised to stay enrolled longer and perform better in school than their peers who do not attend such programs”.~Priscilla Little, Harvard Family Research Project.
“…participating in active learning in experience in a safe environment with high expectations and supportive adults can contribute to increased engagement in learning improved behavior and increased grades”.~The Forum for Youth Investment.
INTEGRATING CCSS IN OST PROGRAMS
Become Knowledgeable Understand Implementation (in the schools/district) Focus on aligning activities with not only standards but also habits of mind Share efforts to align with CCSS Share the responsibility for student achievement Consider alternative and engaging ways to support students Communicate efforts
ENCOMPASS: CASE EXAMPLE OF CCLS IN OST PROGRAMMING
Implemented APPR process for all staff including an instructional observation and final evaluation using Danielson’s framework, and rubrics to promote instructional quality Aligned individualized learning goals with skills and competencies embedded in CCLS Recognized the Habits of Mind in designing inquiry -based curriculum for OST programs Provided professional development and on-going instructional support for Academic Coaches implementation of IBL lessons aligned with CCLS and in writing CCLS based goals Deconstructed the standards to better understand the sequence and shared responsibility inherent in the standards Committed to continuous improvement and alignment with best/informed practices in education and OST to partner with students, schools and families promoting student success Designed an evaluation plan to capture curricular, student and programmatic outcomes and impacts of efforts and programming
ENCOMPASS: CURRICULAR EXAMPLE OF CCLS IN OST PROGRAMMING
Water Curriculum – 4 th Grade Water Cycle – Students will develop an appreciation of how impor tant water is and how it is recycled.
Students will be able to define and explain the water cycle. Water Ecosystems – Students will explore how much of our Ear th is covered with water and how that water is distributed.
Water Sustainability and Weather – United States.
Students will think critically on valuing water as a material in terms of sustainability. Students will make connections between weather cycles and availability of fresh water in the Water Pollution and Water Treatment under standing of how engineer s help maintain water quality through monitoring and treatment.
Students will reach a better Water Shortage and Global Water Awareness Students will explore the global ef fects that local actions have on people and their environment.
Water Conservation Students will make connections between the ways their water use habits af fect the environment and ways to reduce these impacts. Students will take steps to use water more ef ficiently.
ACTIVITY
What “Habit of Mind” are you reinforcing?
In your own words, what does this habit mean?
What would it look like in your after school program?
What activities would reinforce the habit?
What are the next steps at your program?
