Extended Learning Time (ELT)


The TIME Collaborative … Time for Innovation Matters in Education.

Why Time Matters(click here for video)
There is a growing movement of teachers, administrators, parents, students, non-profit leaders and business people who believe that if the American education system is going to "catch up" and make close the achievement and opportunity gap for all students, there needs to be more … and better … learning time.  The Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time & Learning have launched a five-state initiative to add at least 300 more hours of learning time for all students in participating schools.

The launch event held at Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington, D.C., brought together national, state and district education leaders to discuss the possibilities of a longer and enriched learning day.  Videos of this event offer an overview of the players and issues in this new collaborative effort which uses the ESEA waiver process to make federal funds more flexible.

Five states involved:  Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee
