Awesome piece by Grace Bonilla United Way of New York City 'A universal approach to after-school programs would help level the playing field in education, and would play a pivotal role in keeping children doing what children should be doing – learning and playing.'

'you might offer students & their caregivers an open-ended set of ideas along with a few quick parameters & find this is plenty to inspire a variety of individual products. Leaving the process open allows for families to cocreate and coimagine with their children.'🧡Nawal Qarooni | NQC Literacy | @nqarooni on IG

This is a great experience to share with your students, Ekuwah Mends Moses 🇬🇭🇺🇸. Let them know you have fears that you are working through them. I am reading Hidden Potential by Adam Grant with brilliant ideas relevant to this concept.

Tip 2 Make a dramatic impact with deep, sustained support. Check out SMASH and GSP. Their success relies on a long-term vision, leadership that is committed to aspirational programs, and funders who stay the course. #SummerofSTEM 🌞

'elevate what families are already doing and naming that for families so that they can continue to do it with some intentionality, bring it back into the classroom to strengthen our literacy experience, and then cycle it back to families' Great piece Nawal Qarooni | NQC Literacy | @nqarooni on IG MindShift

I am inspired by how Girls Who Code supports its graduates with opportunities like this one. Here is a model for #STEM organizations to take on and for funders to support. ✨ Dr. Tarika Barrett

I'm in! For my part, I pledge to continue supporting programs that sustain girls' engagement in STEM and challenging partners to step up and welcome young women as they enter college and the workforce. Thank you kpeterson and NGCProject for this effort. #STEMTogether ✨
