SPEAKER'S FORUMS

About

The How Kids Learn (HKL) Speaker’s Forums are dedicated to providing those who are interested in improving youth outcomes with thought-provoking, educational opportunities. The HKL educational events offer access to national thinkers and researchers, innovative practitioners, and networking opportunities. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these Forums were held live and in-person. Since the pandemic, these Forums were conducted as online webinars. 
​

These Forums and Webinars are sponsored by Temescal Associates, the How Kids Learn Foundation, and the Learning in Afterschool & Summer (LIAS) Project. We have many partners including, S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation, EduCare Foundation, Inner Explorer, American Institutes for Research (AIR), Turnaround for Children and others.
