Academy for Community Schools Development

ACADEMY FOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS DEVELOPMENT Academy Session II

Training Content: Maximizing the Potential of the After-School Hours The training will focus on the three common forms of after-school academic support systems (remediation, academic enrichment, and study hall/homework help/tutoring) available in community schools and the integration of these support systems with school-day activities. Leadership teams will explore the integration of these support systems with school-day activities through several frameworks: child developmental domains; youth development; content standards; and effective after-school practice.

Training Objectives: 1. Participants will learn and apply child developmental domains, youth development, content standards, and effective after-school practice to better link school-day and after-school practices. 2. Participants will identify how after-school and school-day activities can be integrated in order to achieve maximum learning and development results.
