Ways to customize at the community level:

The topics a community convening addresses will be determined by the host convener. The list of topics, below, is an illustration of the kind of content that could be covered. Indicating an interest in a topic does not mean that the topic must be on the convening’s agenda and will not factor into selection of communities. Information from this aspect of the application will help America’s Promise to understand what topics generate the most interest among communities interested in this type of work.
Select the topics that the convening may prioritize (check all that apply):

The science of learning and development, which includes brain science and social sciences such as the research on the social context of learning, the role of emotions in learning, and implementation science. Transforming learning settings so they are rooted in relationships and safe and supportive for young people. Understanding adverse childhood experiences and implementing trauma-informed practices. Aligning resources in the community to address young people’s needs. Creating time and space for adults to refine practice so that young people’s learning environments reflect their social, emotional, and cognitive developmental needs. Strengthening partnerships to achieve goals based on young people’s needs (e.g., setting a vision for young people’s success; examining youth perspective; supports for adults; increasing the number of caring adults in learning settings). Building adult expertise in child and adolescent development and attending to adults’ own social, emotional, and cognitive needs. Engaging families in efforts to facilitate how learning happens. Giving young people the opportunity to lead and shape community efforts focused on their comprehensive learning and development Giving young people the opportunity to learn social and emotional skills (e.g., integrating social and emotional skills into academic courses, teaching social and emotional skills on their own).
