How STEMfinity Supports the Successful Implementation of ELO-P Programs: A One-Stop Solution for Afterschool and Summer Enrichment
So you want to start an afterschool or summer program for your K-6 students and you don’t know where to start… the good news is that you came to the right place! Launching a successful afterschool or summer program is a challenge that can leave site managers feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Whether your ELO-P program needs help with finding the right resources for your students or providing professional development to your staff, STEMfinity will provide you with the support needed to launch an afterschool or summer program that meets your vision.
STEMfinity works with K-6 afterschool and summer programs throughout California and our staff is well-equipped to create a custom STEM solution for your ELO-P. When your team works with STEMfinity you are not getting a one-size-fits-all recommendation. Instead, STEMfinity will create a custom STEM solution for your ELO-P based upon the needs of your students, your budget, and the experience of your staff. It doesn’t matter if you are looking to implement a temporary summer program or a sustainable long-term afterschool program (or anything in between!), our in-house STEM experts will provide you with their detailed knowledge of thousands of hands-on resources from over 100 of the best brands in education.
One of the biggest challenges facing ELO-P site managers is researching the endless amounts of hands-on STEM resources that are being released every year. Trying to track down thousands of hands-on STEM resources and compare them is an impossible task for educators, and with so many options available it is difficult to decide which products will ultimately be the best fit for their program. And what happens if you want resources from several different STEM brands? Before STEMfinity was around, educators had to deal with the hassle of working with multiple vendors and coordinating with companies spread out across multiple states in order to get the resources that they want. Luckily for you those days are long gone, and now it is easier than ever to find all of the best hands-on resources in one place. Our in-house STEM experts are always evaluating new educational resources and we encourage you to ask us about any new brands that have been recently added.
Now that you’re covered on your grant funding and have selected the best hands-on STEM resources to fit your students’ needs, you might be wondering: how am I going to implement all of these new resources with my staff and ensure that my program is a success on day 1? With STEMfinity’s STEM 101 Professional Development training, of course! During this one day training STEMfinity will send “Mr. Science” himself, Jason Lindsey, (or a Hooked On Science associate depending on the dates requested) to your school and conduct a full day training (up to 8 hours) for up to 30 educators. STEMfinity will customize the training to meet your ELO-P program's needs and get your educators prepared to successfully implement your brand new STEM resources.
