21 st Century Community Learning Centers Fall 2018 Newsletter Why Out-of-School Time Matters! In today’s economy more and more parents are working outside the home in order to insure their living needs continue to be met. Therefore the need for student after school care has increased in the last couple of years. Thus today’s youth are spending more time alone and unsupervised. In response to this crisis, educational entities, non- profits, state agencies and school districts have collaborated to offer out-of-school time options for students. This provides an opportunity for academically focused activities through various forms of enrichment programs. The STEM Outreach Center is dedicated to providing support to regional school districts through quality out-of-school time programs, teacher professional development, and programs aimed at parents and families – all in an effort to highlight the importance of education. In addition to this, we provide quality programming that meets the needs of students, schools and Southwestern NM communities through hands-on, enrichment activities in STEM. The STEM Outreach Center challenges students with a rigorous curriculum that meets national math, science, literacy, and technology standards in out-of-school time programs, summer camps, and family nights.

Fall 2018 Newsletter Why Out-of-School Time

Matters! In today’s economy more and more parents are working outside the home in order to insure their living needs continue to be met. Therefore the need for student after school care has increased in the last couple of years. Thus today’s youth are spending more time alone and unsupervised. In response to this crisis, educational entities, non-profits, state agencies and school districts have collaborated to offer out-of-school time options for students. This provides an opportunity for academically focused activities through various forms of enrichment programs.

The STEM Outreach Center is dedicated to providing support to regional school districts through quality out-of-school time programs, teacher professional development, and programs aimed at parents and families – all in an effort to highlight the importance of education. In addition to this, we provide quality programming that meets the needs of students, schools and Southwestern NM communities through hands-on, enrichment activities in STEM.

The STEM Outreach Center challenges students with a rigorous curriculum that meets national math, science, literacy, and technology standards in out-of-school time programs, summer camps, and family nights. We also encourage parents/guardians and families to participate in workshops tailored to specific needs, for example, family nutrition, money management, and Explora!

Hoja Informativa de los Centros de

Aprendizaje del Siglo 21st en el Otoño del 2018 ¡Por Qué El Tiempo Fuera-

de-Escuela Importa! Gracias a la economía actual,

cada vez hay más padres trabajando

fuera de casa para satisfacer las

necesidades de sus familias. Resultando

en que la necesidad de cuidado para

niños después de escuela ha sea

incrementado durante estos últimos

años. Por lo cual se ve que la juventud

de hoy están pasando más tiempo solos

y sin ser supervisados. En respuesta a

esta crisis, entidades educativas,

organizaciones sin fines de lucro,

agencias estatales y distritos escolares

han colaborado para ofrecer más

opciones para este tiempo fuera de

escuela para los padres y para los

estudiantes. Proporcionando la

oportunidad para actividades

académicas a través de programas

diversas de enriquecimiento.

El Centro de STEM Outreach

está dedicado a brindar apoyo a los

distritos escolares regionales a través

de programas de calidad fuera de

escuela, desarrollo profesional del

maestro, y programas dirigidos a

padres y familias—todo en un esfuerzo

por resaltar la importancia de la educación. Además de esto, proporcionamos programación de calidad

que satisface las necesidades de los estudiantes, escuelas, y comunidades del suroeste de Nuevo México

a través de actividades prácticas de enriquecimiento en STEM.

El Centro de STEM Outreach reta a los estudiantes con un currículo riguroso que cumple con los estándares nacionales de matemáticas, ciencias, alfabetismo, y tecnología en programas después de escuela, campamentos por el verano, y noches en familia. También animamos que los padres/guardianes y familias participen en talleres adaptados a necesidades específicas, como nutrición de familia, administración del dinero, ¡y Explora!
