New Policy Brief: “Room to Grow: Tapping the After-School Workforce Potential”
Communication from Lucy N. Friedman, TASC President
December 18, 2009
I encourage you to read and send me your thoughts on “Room to Grow: Tapping the After-School Workforce Potential,” a new policy brief from The After-School Corporation. We propose creating a sequenced, articulated system of professional development for the after-school workforce. Good for programs and good for staff, creating a navigable career path for after-school educators is also a great job development strategy for related fields, including teaching. After-school educators are a highly diverse, motivated group of citizens who acquire valuable on-the-job training and experience in working with kids. Their participation in formal and informal training should build toward attainment of college degrees.
Promising approaches are documented in this brief. I look forward to working with you as this initiative evolves.
