California expanded learning · ELO-P

Turn ELO-P funding into a program that works.

Funding is the starting point. The next step is designing a program that works for your students, staff, sites, schedule, and goals. Pitsco can help you create a sustainable, hands-on STEAM program that supports authentic student discovery and gives frontline staff the tools and confidence to facilitate it.

Your funding is available. Is your program ready?

Expanded learning teams are being asked to scale high-impact experiences while managing staffing limitations, funding requirements, different site needs, and program compliance. Pitsco helps your team move from funding to implementation through a practical process.

1

Discovery

Assess your sites, students, goals, staff capacity, funding, and existing resources.

2

Design

Develop a customized program using the right combination of themes, clubs, activity bundles, STEM Boxes, Boost Kits, and other hands-on experiences.

3

Train

Empower educators through hands-on professional development and clear facilitator resources.

4

Scale

Launch and expand your program across sites with continued technical assistance.

Close the capacity gap

Your staff should not need specialized STEAM backgrounds or hours of additional planning to facilitate meaningful learning. Pitsco programs support operational ease so frontline staff can spend less time creating lessons from scratch and more time building relationships, supporting social-emotional learning, and guiding hands-on discovery.

Planning for Attendance Recovery or braided funding?

Expanded learning teams may be coordinating ELO-P with Attendance Recovery, ASES, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Community Schools funding, and other resources. These programs can support connected goals, but each maintains its own eligibility, expenditure, documentation, and reporting requirements. Our team can help your expanded learning, instructional, fiscal, attendance, data, and site leadership teams talk through how a hands-on program fits your funding picture.
