After School Academies

Link to Professional Development for the After School Professional Professional development of staff is key to high quality afterschool, but organizations are hard-pressed to create effective training that reaches across programs. Afterschool Academies: Guidebook for Action is designed to help afterschool leaders develop and launch their own intensive, cross-program, multi-site training institutes to address the fundamentals of afterschool education. Based on the Afterschool Academies model developed and presented by five afterschool organizations under a grant from the C.S. Mott Foundation, the Guide provides the Academies design basics, sample agendas and handouts, outlines of plenaries and breakout sessions, discussion-group guides, facilitators’ materials, and planning tools.
