Description

The California After-School Network will collaborate with WestEd’s Schools Moving Up, the U.S. Department of Education’s website Doing What Works, and California State University to offer three webinars this fall. The goal of this three-part webinar series—After-School Learning: Implementing Top-Quality Programs— is to facilitate conversations on the impact of after-school programs on closing achievement gaps and readying students for college and/or careers. This webinar series also provides opportunities to increase the quality and quantity of after-school programs for K-12 students.

This series is based on "The After-School Program Handbook for School Site Leaders", which has just been released by California State University. This handbook was prepared through the generous support of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation in recognition of the importance of alignment between schools and after-school programs in advancing student learning. Although some of the resources mentioned are specific to California, educators from across the nation will find both the Handbook and the webinar series valuable in addressing the challenge of raising student achievement in a time of budget reductions.

This webinar series is aimed at school administrators and after-school program directors and coordinators. This webinar will focus on understanding and implementing the recommendations in “The After-School Handbook for School Site Leaders”. Upcoming webinars in this series:

October 26: After School Alignment With the Core Instructional Day in Support of STEM Learning
