The latest edition of Viewpoints features
an audio discussion with Chris Gabrieli, Co-Founder
and Chairman of Massachusetts 2020.
In 2000, Gabrieli co-founded Massachusetts 2020, an
educational nonprofit focused on expanding the economic
and educational opportunities for children and families
across
Massachusetts.
Under the leadership of Gabrieli and Co-Founder
Jennifer Davis, Massachusetts 2020 has led the way
in developing the nation’s first Expanded Learning Time
Initiative (ELT).
In September 2006, ten Massachusetts public schools in
five districts with 4,700 students became the pioneers
of this work, adding about two hours per day to school
schedules for all students.
Viewpoints recently sat down
with Gabrieli to discuss the current state of ELT in Massachusetts, and its implications on some
long-held assumptions about how children are educated.
After you listen to the discussion, please share your
