A
B
Executive
director
of
Boston
after
school
beyond
and
welcome
to
the
2016
Summer
Seminar,
we're
happy
to
have
you
here.
Our
focus
today
is
on
going
from
research
to
practice
and
we
have
a
full
day
ahead
of
us.
First
we're
going
hear
from
our
public
leaders
on
mortensen
summer
learning,
then
we'll
head
up
here
for
grand
a
new
national
report
from
summer
learning
and
finally
we'll
hear
from
big
posh
Boston
school
beyond
on
data
from
your
programs
and
how
kids
bid
in
summer
2016
but
get
us
started
today.

They
thought
that
this
video
is
actually
the
site
sent
in
their
own
videos
and
then
Olivia
on
our
staff
shoes
and
entering
the
summer,
compiled
everything
and
put
it
together
under
the
direction
than
your
hands
and
what
would
be
hold.
This
actually
won
an
award
at
the
National
summer.
Learning
Association
conference
in
Seattle.
B
So
in
this
room
we
have
the
program
to
our
part
of
the
summer
learning
community.
There
are
a
hundred
twenty
seven
of
them
serving
over
10,000
students
this
year,
a
lot
of
research
partners,
sunle
partners,
but
this
all
began
on
the
premise
that
the
opportunity
gap
in
the
achievement
gap
very
expertly
wing.
We
suspected
this-
you
have
the
right
instincts
inside
aged
kids
that
immerse
them
in
high
quality
settings,
often
with
their
teachers,
so
that
they
could
test
the
balance
of
what
they're
comfortable
with
developed
curiosity
and
confidence
through
that.
B
It
really
grew
on
the
notion
that
a
wide
variety
of
partners
could
play
a
role
in
this
type
of
endemic
started
out
with
just
a
handful.
As
you
can
see
today,
there
are
many
many
many
more
programs,
many
different
kinds
of
programs
playing
a
role
in
some
of
our
summer
place
based
institutions.
Others
are
you
development
programs
conceived
your
packet,
the
different
types
of
programs,
everyone's
playing,
a
role
playing
for
their
strengths
along
the
same
Gundam.
B
The
other
way
through
is
by
measuring
what
were
actually
doing
the
kids.
So
what
a
program
is
doing,
create
an
environment
that
helps
to
gauge
gates,
stimulate
their
thinking.
I've
done
better,
develop,
better
relationships
to
challenge
their
own,
receive
limitations
and,
finally,
we're
not
wrestling
on
nice
of
it
and
that's
what
we're
here
to
do
today
to
get
to
take
action
and
years,
but
the
approach
has
really
been
solidified,
your
deep
in
partnership
with
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
in
particular,
under
the
administration
of
dr.
Connie
chain.
B
This
has
happened,
as
many
of
you
know,
and
keep
experience
in
his
first
week
in
the
jaw
on
the
job
back
in
2015.
I
was
out
on.
We
visited
several
summer
learning
program,
and
that
was
just
the
beginning
of
game.
True
partner
collaborator
input
summer,
but
what
has
really
allowed
summer
learning
to
take
shape
as
a
strategy,
but
in
a
year-round
strategy
within
the
Boston
Public
Schools
is
leadership.
Our
next
speaker,
donna
lexi,
is
like
a
new
superintendent
for
strategy.
B
You
don't
let
that
single
word
strategy
to
leave
pretty
much
everything
on
to
be
best
most
burden
to
us.
Our
extended
learning
includes
silent
learning
and
after
school
learning,
and
also
data
and
accountability.
Donna
has
been
a
true
champion
before
the
madness
taking
immediate
action
to
enable
more
better
summer
learning
in
concert,
boston,
public
schools
all
across
the
city.
It's
no
surprise.
Her
reputation
precedes
her
and
said
several
senior
leadership
positions
nationally,
most
recently
at
the
LA
Unified
School
District,
for
that
Prince
George's
County,
also
in
Santa
Monica.
F
F
We
have
to
be
here
next
year
to
watch
what
happens
when
there's
a
222
commitments
of
the
community,
the
school
and
partners
from
across
all
sectors
to
work
together
for
the
betterment
of
summer
for
summer
learning
and
for
the
betterment
of
all
of
our
students.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
do
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
B
The
first
study
came
up
for
brand
with
numbers
were
able,
we
were
actually
able
to
study
the
effects
of
summer
learning
in
it
grew
again.
Many
of
you
are
with
us
and
february2014
Federal
Reserve
Bank,
where
we
unveil
the
first
study
from
the
random
series
that
showed
a
significant
math
in
some
learning.
B
We
grew
further
when
Mayor
Walsh
took
office
challenged
us
in
2015
to
grow
even
further.
At
that
point
he
said
it
will
reach
10,000,
kids
and
100
programs
by
2017
and
frankly,
that
seemed
like
too
steep
climb
at
that
point,
where
79
programs
serve
a
5,600
kids,
and
that
was
a
huge
increase
to
the
previous
year.
So
we
wondered
how
much
more
could
be
bad,
but
that
goal
was
just
what
we
needed
to
get
over
the
hump,
and
you
can
see
now
we
stand
in
127
programs
serving
over
10,000
kids.
B
We've
actually
met
the
goal
here.
Early
I
do
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
all
of
you
for
responding
for
that
gave.
My
colleague
you
like
and
ensure
every
one
of
you
has
talked
to
along
the
way
into
a
cape
caution,
Kelsey
Palin,
who
would
manage
the
Trillia
doubling
of
data
to
analyze
and
report
back
to
you
don't
take
a
minute
to
talk
about.
B
Why
is
their
strength
in
numbers?
What
can
we
do
together
that
we
can't
do
along?
Because
you
saw
in
that
video
we
make
the
entire
city
across
for
his
for
the
getting
access
to
the
very
best
natural
cultural,
higher
education
in
neighborhoods
resources
in
the
city,
beyond
that
teachers
are
getting
access
to
those
places
as
classrooms
and
they're,
making
use
of
them
as
such.
B
Additionally,
when
you
have
strength
of
numbers,
you
can
learn
from
one
another.
You
can
see
where
you're
relatively
strong
and
need
to
improve.
Not
only
is
a
city
system,
but
also
is
individual
programs
and
that's
the
power
of
using
data,
a
shared
vocabulary,
so
we're
coming
together
around
subprogram
practices,
skills
that
the
evidence
suggests
really
matter.
So,
if
you
can
get
ever
more
deliberate,
where
we
focus
our
efforts,
we're
going
to
benefit
you
you're
out
here
and
you'll,
see
the
you'll
see
the
outcomes
of
your
efforts
later
in
the
program
today.
B
The
other
thing
we
can
do
together
to
connect
to
a
lone
built,
a
movement
to
build
an
expectation.
We
know
that
the
opportunity
got
is
real
and
it's
directly
going
at
three
measures
that
we
got
now.
One
is
expenditures
under
wealthy
families
have
always
spend
more
than
four
families
on
ownership
and
the
gap
is
my
local
721,
interesting
that
the
gap
is
doubled
years
so
well,
if
your
families
could
doubling
the
gap
between
spending
spending
on
virtually
double,
not
surprisingly,
participation
rates
and
sports
clubs
and
activities
reflect
this
inequity
of
opportunity.
B
So
it's
low-income
families
actually
participate
the
half
the
raid,
their
wealth,
your
peers
and
sports
clubs
and
activities.
Then,
finally,
you
can
measure
this
gap
in
terms
of
battles
in
our
peer
organization
in
New,
York,
expanded
schools
estimates
that
kids
from
low-income
families
spent
six
thousand
fewer
hours
and
after
school
and
summer
learning
time
spent
on
field
trips.
Reading
with
a
caring
adult.
B
B
Hours
of
boring
single
son
over
200
close
to
300
in
the
after-school
hours
so
year
after
year.
That
makes
a
big
difference
beyond
mountains,
national
trade
movement
and,
just
in
the
past
six
months,
to
see
the
first
headline
nearby
may
when
gathered
at
berklee
college
of
music,
which
was
at
the
time
new
to
this
network.
We
none.
So
you
met
the
mayor
school
a
year
early,
exactly
15
months.
Rop
got
done
between
july,
a
sportsman,
Stannis
may
berklee
college
of
music
and.
B
From
their
stories
taken
off-
and
it's
not
just
a
local
story,
it's
a
national
story.
Other
cities
of
looking
for
Boston
I
get
caught
literally
every
day
a
bottle
tops
in
Boston
with
these
programs
with
the
schools.
The
story
is
that
we're
all
working
together
or
learning
together
are
we
getting
better
together?
That's
at
every
level.
People
can't
believe
that
Boston
Public
Schools
work
so
deliberately
collaboratively
such
an
enormous
array
of
partners,
nor
than
such
an
enormous
array
of
partners,
actually
all
dr.
common
goals
in
common
measures
and
have
our
own
organizations
to
run.
B
But
what
really
blows
them
away
moments
like
this,
where
you
actually
take
the
data
and
use
it
order
together,
and
so
we're
really
proud
to
be
a
part
of
that
I
love
some
of
these
headlines,
The
Washington
Post
one
stands
out
new
evidence
summer
programs
to
make
the
difference.
Proportional
thing
can't
say
that
every
day,
an
education
boring
social
sciences
in
general,
it's
not
often
that
you
have
foresight
to
measure
and
fun
things
at
a
scale
with
which
you
come
to
such
intimate
conclusions,
and
so
we're
so
pleased
to
have
Jennifer
slowing.
B
And
then,
finally,
by
working
together,
we
can
actually
imagine
every
single
student
in
Boston
enacted
to
a
five
qualities
summer
learning
experience
not
just
kids
from
some
schools
or
others
for
parents
and
thousands
that
means,
but
every
single
young
person
could
get
access.
We
started
to
look
at
this.
You
can
see
behind
me.
This
is
the
distribution
of
programs
throughout
the
city,
but
also
beyond
the
city.
What
I
like
about
this?
B
This
shows
that
there
are
programs
taking
root
and
just
about
every
neighborhood,
the
size
of
the
box,
myself
a
they
are
and
that
beyond
that,
we're
sending
kids
with
your
health
to
the
harbor
islands,
the
blue
pills
overnight
camps,
they
are
going
everywhere.
You
are
and
I
think
that's
a
tangible
way.
B
The
opportunity
for
having
kids
experience
things
we
otherwise
would
have
experienced,
beat
people
that
wouldn't
otherwise
have
met
and
formed
transformational,
often
lifelong
collaborations,
with
this
new
network
a
while
they're
at
it
direct
review
it
better
in
school
because
of
it
they're
doing
better
school.
How
many
did
how
many
things?
Can
you
say
that
I
said
with
that?
I
would
like
to
attempt
to
transition.
B
We
started
small
we've
got
bigger,
we
celebrated
our
growth
in
scale
vacuum
a
berklee
college
of
music.
After
launching
the
mayor's
goal
of
the
sport
that
sportsman
spanish
on
google
app.
Today,
we
heard
look
at
the
impact
of
his
growth
and
scale
together,
and
it's
really
hitting
there
were
at
the
YMCA
of
Greater
Boston,
the
Y
on
its
own
added
seven
sites
from
2015
2016,
contributing
to
us
our
ability
to
reach
10,000
students
citywide,
and
it's
really
no
surprise.
B
You
at
the
leadership
James
Morton
joining
the
y
last
year
in
2015
after
heading
up
the
wine
springfield
massachusetts
and
most
recently
hired
from
connecticut
his
reputation
to
preceded
him,
who
knew
that
he
was
a
strong
leader,
but
he
also
had
a
really
strong
reputation
for
collaboration
and
he
is,
he
is
putting
his
foot
on
the
gas
here
forming
collaborations
with
a
wide
variety
of
programs,
but
also
the
Boston
Public
Schools
Boston
is
going
beyond.
We
were
so
pleased
to
have
his
voice
in
testifying
for
33
bye,
bye,
Carol.
My
shoes
join
us
and.
B
G
So
it's
mine,
my
privilege,
to
be
with
you
this
morning
and
to
share
the
celebration
of
our
collective
effort
to
eliminate
the
opportunity
gap,
also
known
as
the
achievement
that
but
I
think
most
of
us
believe
that
it's
really
an
opportunity
not
an
achievement
by
our
children
can
achieve
given
the
opportunity
to
learn
they
learn,
and
so
so
we
keep
giving
those
opportunities.
I
mean
127
program.
That's
amazing
accomplishment.
10,000
children
served
with
an
amazing
time.
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
the
YMCA
of
Greater
Boston.
G
So
thank
you
very,
very
much
for
everything
that
you
and
your
organization's
do
each
other
to
put
children
first
and
to
inspire
both
Chris
a
lot
of
our
things
over
time
over
for
your
leadership
and
your
advocacy
in
connection
of
a
providing
children
with
the
opportunities
that
they
need
and
that
they
deserve.
Thank
you
for
everything
to
hit
the
most
horrible
noise,
our
children.
Thank
you
and
now
I
have
the
absolute
privilege
and
pleasure
to
introduce
someone
who
does
not
need
an
introduction
to
many
of
us.
G
Our
mayor
has
repeatedly
demonstrated
his
commitment
to
the
education
of
all
children
at
all
levels,
whether
supporting
our
work
around
summer
learning
loss
or
supporting
early
educational
opportunities
for
all
children
or
advocating
that
every
high
schooler
get
a
free
college
education.
Our
mayor
has
demonstrated
his
commitment
to
the
educational
success
of
all
of
us
and
all
of
our
children
and.
D
G
H
For
the
great
work
of
the
YMCA
is
doing
and
I
see
in
so
many
different
neighborhoods
and
change
took
over
as
the
director
of
the
line,
our
relationship
just
took
off
in
so
many
different
areas
and
in
truth,
one
thing
and
all
the
staff
the
line
sweet.
Thank

a
great
work

I

Thank

and
Donna
money
from
the
Boston

chief
village,
Arroyo
chief
health
services
for
the
City
of
Boston.
H
My
former
colleague
and
I
also
represent
them.
So
who
is
it
a
real
champion
for
kids,
but
also
a
great
elected
official
and
thats?
They
represent
about
spice
one
that
you
represented
for
being
with
us
today.
I
was
just
chatting
with
Cristiano
tobacco
and
that
you
Chris
as
well
and
everyone
all
the
leaders
in
Boston
after
school
of
yawns
and
network,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today.
It's
no
secret
that
Boston
summer
learning
the
community
is
an
asset
to
our
families
and
our
schools.
H
It
creates
safe
spaces
for
children
to
explore
their
interests,
build
the
confidence
and
practice
real-world
skills,
but
also
allowed
to
bridge
that
gap
that
gap
that
we
often
talk
about
the
kids
yet
with
a
group
where
they
get
out
of
school
in
june,
and
they
come
back.
I've
talked
to
many
teachers.
This
teacher,
this
room
that
will
say,
is
a
follower.
It's
be
able
to
close
that
gap
is
so
so
important
for
us.
H
New
findings
from
rained
the
wallet
foundation
confirmed
that
a
lot
of
things
that
you
know
that
high
quality
summer
programs
like
these
boost
performance
in
mathematics
and
reading
they
help
kids
develop
emotional
skills.
They
need
to
the
not
just
learning
but
also
used
in
their
life,
and
they
also
help
school.
H
Yet
these
programs
also
chip
away
the
opportunity
gap,
do
a
lot
of
talking
city,
mall
and
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
action
on
clothing,
that
achievement
gap
and
there's
a
lot
of
discussions
in
we
think
about
when
I'm
lending
fund,
education,
I,
think
about
the
city
as
a
whole,
I
think
about
we
just
created
the
first
time
by
the
interested
in
the
office
of
returning
citizens.
Those
are
folks
at
that
have
gone
to
jail
and
then
have
a
triangle.
H
It's
all
white
families
left
that
gap
or
creating
programs
to
to
try
and
bridge
that
gap.
So
I
think
about
all.
When
I
talk
about
all
those
things
that
we
talked
about,
those
are
all
important,
but
our
real
goal
is
to
eliminate
the
need
for
the
re-entry,
the
income
and
health
income
gap,
the
educational
gap
and
the
way
to
do
that
is
by
providing
a
good
strong
for
all
the
education
at
a
young
age
to
put
young
people
on
pathways
of
success.
That's
really
the
way
we
do
it.
H
I
work
with
no
solid
and
the
pic
from
idiot
doctor
analysis.
They
represent
a
wells
and
we
will
be
talking
about
closing
these
different
gaps
in
love
and
in
city
is
rolling.
Before
is
that
drone
on
that
Charlie
thinking
about?
If
we
truly
put
together
a
comprehensive
idea
program
to
close
these
gaps
at
the
age
of
four
and
five
and
six,
then
the
rest
will
fall
into
place
for
positive,
an
affront
kids.
H
It's
something
that
we're
going
to
do
here
in
Boston
programs
like
these
help
families,
low-income
families
hit
the
ground
in
September,
was
seeing
the
results
already
in
that
school.
We're
looking
at
our
school
when
it
touched
goes
back
to
see
the
whole
comprehensive
school
bully
diet,
a
little
deeper
education.
H
Great
and
we
look
and
see
what's
happening
in
those
earlier
ratings
compared
what's
happening
in
the
lady
rates
and
a
lot
of
what's
happening
when
you
see
that
that
the
first
second
third,
fourth,
the
fifth
transition
somewhere
along
the
line,
we
do
believe
it
is,
and
someone
is
a
whole
bunch
of
different
reason.
A
lot
of
it
is
the
fact
that
we
are
now
focus
on
keeping
young
people
learning
for
all
the
entire
school
year,
so
that
that
gap
does
an
afternoon
34th
or
whatever
wherever
that
magical.
Not
that
seems
to
happen
with
that
transformation.
H
Is
we
lose
that
so
we're
working
that
this
evidence?
It
shows
that
this
work
can
happen
beyond
our
city,
something
that
we
can
do
not
just
of
the
city
of
Los
little
further
them,
but
we
know
that
the
value
of
appropriate
was
fabulous.
It's
great.
We
know
because
students
and
families
at
Robles,
I
think
the
mother
of
1000
mckaela's
here
is
the
summer
program
help
their
daughter
built.
H
The
confidence
to
read
out
loud
is
all
you
know,
is
educators
in
all
the
deaths
of
employed,
that's
important
for
a
young
person
to
express
himself
whether
it's
reading
out
loud
and
be
able
to
speak
for
themselves
to
participate
more
within
a
language
school.
Another
parent
swings
program,
alpha
dog,
improve
our
English
and
make
new
friends
and
the
family
digital
from
the
Dominican
recover,
so
to
work
for
us,
particularly
the
city
that
is
101
different
languages
in
our
school,
so
we
have
kids
from
all
the
backgrounds
and
all
different
nationalities.
H
Many
of
those
kids
were
born
here
in
this
country.
Family
always
be
sedated
time
in
their
home,
so
their
educational
opportunity
comes
from
us
into
school,
but
also
to
the
different
programs.
We've
made
this
out
of
school,
less
scary
is
stolen.
You
made
a
massage
school
bus,
carry
the
Shokan
kids
when
I
was
growing
up
from
talking
about
some
learning.
I
probably
would
have
ran
the
other
way
except
one
time,
the
fifth
grade,
where
I
had
to
go
b/ci
to
summer
school.
Liquid
will
talk
about
that.
H
But
when
you've
done
is
you've
taken
this,
if
taken
to
some
learning
and
turned
into
a
fun
positive
experience,
and
that's
something
that
also
avoid
for
our
kids
to
understand
that
they
cannot
find
they
can
enjoy
themselves,
but
we're
teaching
them
every
single
day
and
they
want
to
keep
coming
back.
So
I
think,
is
there
the
most
important
thing
that
organizing
that
the
rand
report
found
is
that
attendance
touched
on
it.
The
benefits
skyrocketed
with
students
attend
at
least
eighty
percent
of
the
500
program
classes.
An
average
attendant
tendons
was
for
some
programs,
eighty-five
percent.
H
We
want
to
continue
to
drive
that
memory
minute
am
and
I
know
we
can.
Last
summer,
superintendent,
Chang
and
I
set
an
ambitious
goal.
We
challenge
that
we
want
to
get
10,000
kids
students
in
a
hundred
programs
by
the
year.
Twenty
seventeen-
that's
about
twenty
percent
of
audition
little
essence
of
my
district
in
Boston
with
so
many
great
providers.
Like
all
of
you,
you
should
be
able
to
shatter
that
number.
We
should
be
able
to
get
other
other
organizations
involved
with
program.
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
H
Many
of
you
will,
mostly
all
of
you
with,
is
room
for
what
you
have
done
so
far
more.
Thank
you
for
what
you've
done
with
this
program
to
the
next
level,
I'm
proud
to
stand
with
the
boss,
at
somewhere
in
community
you've
made
such
a
huge
difference
for
so
many
of
our
kids,
Sonia
vaca
exam
students,
I,
hopefully
controlling,
and
I
truly
wanted
to
say
open
after
myself,
superintendent
Chang
in
phila,
royal
and
Alex
punished.
Thank
you
for
you
to
do.
H
You
know,
as
as
leaders,
elected
leaders
as
appointed
leaders,
we
often
think
about
how
would
you
may
God
make
our
education
so
much
stronger
than
the
city
is
compromised?
We
can
talk
about
the
policy
we
can
set
the
policy
down,
but
it's
actually
probably
than
extraterritorial.
So
without
you,
we
wouldn't
have
a
policy
to
thank
you
very
much.
B
It's
great
to
hear
mayor
Walsh
is
perspective
on
the
value
of
summer
learning
citywide
how
it
teaches
kids.
New
skills
gets
other
troops
involved
and
makes
you
starting
to
school
year
that
much
less
scary.
Certainly
the
way
to
that
I
want
to
show
you
one
more
quick
video.
We
asked
a
simple
question
mayor
Walsh,
just
answered:
why
does
summer
learning
matter?
Here's
a
people
had
to
say.
