S1 E11 Robin Berlinsky: After-School programs and Partnerships that Promote 21st Century Skills

Want some more fun fact about our guests? Little-known information about this topic? All of it HERE!!
The talk you're about to hear with Robin Berlinsky is so inclusive it's hard to know where to begin. So, I'll ask you a few questions: If you want to know how
to partner with local organisations to create educational opportunities for your students, if you want to know how to embed 21st century skills in your lessons and projects, if you are looking for after school and summer programs for your children, if you want to know how to get the local community and legislators on board as your greatest advocates, if you want to know how to bring real-world issues into the classroom in ways that excite and motivate your students, and if you want to know how to turn apathy around and watch your students move and learn, this is the cool tonic for you. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride with a genuine educator who - for teacher and parents - has the answers you've been looking for for in school and after school learning projects.
Take Aways:
Find something positive about the children to tell the parents so that they know that we are a champion for their child. Then, later, if we need to have a talk about more challenging issues, the parents will be more responsive because we've opened up the space of positivity.
Seek those non-profit organisations that could hep fund your projects. There are so many non-profits that have money to spend but they don't know where you are unless you raise your hand.
Executive Director, Engaging Creative Minds (ECM), holds an M.Ed. from The Citadel.

Robin is a member of the 2017 Riley Institute Midlands Diversity Leaders Initiative and National Advisory Committee for the National Association of
Elementary School Principals. She serves on the Palmetto State Arts Education board and chairs the Art Committee for Charleston STEM Festival.
