Description

In recent years, a key strategy for improving student outcomes has been to extend learning time by lengthening the school day or year. In 2010, the Department of Education (Education) made significant changes to its School Improvement Grants (SIG) program, funded at about $506 million in FY 2015, including requiring schools to extend learning time in certain instances. In 2012, Education began to invite waiver requests from states to use funds from its $1.2 billion 21st Century program to conduct authorized activities during extended learning time. This report examines (1) various Education programs that can be used to support extended learning time for K-12 students; and (2) learning time in public schools nationwide. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
