Project Resilience is an after-school enrichment program for students in TK-6th grade through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P). This program designs mindful enrichment and creative engagement opportunities for students. This program develops programming centered on social-emotional learning to reach the needs of the whole child. STEAM programming includes science, technology, engineering, art, music, dance, coding, interactive reading, and creative writing. The program delivery is centered on mindful movement; joyful journaling; and resilience. Enrollment is based on student need as defined by California Department of Education (CDE) guidelines. 

 

As per the CDE: “The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) provides enrichment programs for transitional kindergarten through 6th grade. “Expanded learning” …focus[es] on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging experiences. It is the intent of the Legislature that expanded learning programs are pupil-centered, results-driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate learning activities in the regular school day and school year.” Plumas Lake Elementary School District will prioritize after-school enrichment based on needs assessments.

 

(1)   “Expanded learning opportunities” has the same meaning as “expanded learning” is defined in Section 8482.1. “Expanded learning opportunities” does not mean an extension of instructional time, but rather opportunities to engage pupils in enrichment, play, nutrition, and other developmentally appropriate activities.
