• 2008 School of the 21st Century National Conference, July 14-16, 2008 - Challenging the long held belief that formal learning begins in Kindergarten and is supported five days a week, six hours a day, for twelve more years, The School of the 21st Century (21C) is proving that learning really is a 24/7 process, beginning at birth. Using a community school model, the 21st Century program incorporates child care and family support services into schools, including school-based preschool, before and after-school care and family support services designed to promote the optimal growth and development of children beginning at birth. 21C, also known as Family Resource Center (FRC) in some communities, transforms the traditional school into a year-round, model.
  The 21C conference will focus on the Changing Roles of Schools: Schools of the 21st Century, Family Resource Centers, Early Care and Education, School-age Care, and other school-based family support programs. Workshops will be offered in the following areas:
  
  • Research and Program Development
  • Technology - New Opportunities
  • Effective Program Strategies
  • Establishing Partnerships and Collaboration
  • Leadership, Policy, and Program Management
