CTAN is gearing up for this year’s conference, Ready For Any Future, and we are beyond excited to introduce Dr. Art Markman as our keynote speaker for CTAN University! Each month, CTAN highlights a member of our community who is making meaningful impacts in the Central Texas Out-of-School Time. We could think of no better person to spotlight as we ramp up to our biggest and best conference yet than Dr. Art Markman. Among his many roles and achievements, he is a professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, co-host of the Radio show Two Guys on Your Head, and author of the book, Smart Thinking. Read our short interview with Dr. Art Marman below.
Each month CTAN features a member of our Out-of-School Time community that is making meaningful impacts for Central Texas children and youth. For July, we chose to highlight our new president, Angel Toscano. Alongside his work with CTAN, Angel makes healthy choices a priority for Texas communities and works endlessly to build partnerships with the Out-of-School Time community. Read the full interview below to learn more about Angel and IT’S TIME TEXAS.
This month, our community spotlight is Sarah Rinner, the Director of Elementary and Early Education Programs for Creative Action.
The month of May is a special time for CTAN because we get to thank and celebrate all of the people, organizations, and partnerships that make meaningful impacts for children and youth in the Out-of-School Time community. Therefore, it is only appropriate that we spotlight another Champion who works everyday to build better futures for the children in Central Texas- Alison Reis-Khanna from TXPOST. Since joining TXPOST in 2013, Alison has worked to improve the landscape of the Out-of-School Time community throughout Texas. We are thrilled to have such wonderful partners like Alison in our OST community!
