When after-school activities are aligned with school day learning, real gains in students’ academic, social and emotional growth can occur. This workshop brings principals and after-school program directors together to discuss their respective roles and responsibilities, share common goals and develop action plans for ongoing collaboration.

Our complete workshop package is priced at $225.00 plus shipping and handling and includes:

  • The workshop guide and CD with customizable schedules, talking points, activities, PowerPoint presentations, participant handouts, and resources for delivering four modules—an introductory session, breakout sessions for principals and program directors, and a collaborative action planning session.
  • Ten copies of NAESP’s publication, Leading After-School Learning Communities: What Principals Should Know and Be Able To Do.
Content is appropriate for delivery by state and local organizations serving elementary and middle school principals, as well as those serving after-school programs. Optional facilitator training and assistance is available.
