The National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) just released Making the Most of After-School Time: Ten Case Studies of School-Based After-School Programs. The case studies profile after-school programs in urban, rural, and suburban communities across the country, with a special emphasis on the various roles principals play in helping to make programs successful.

Making the Most of After-School Time is designed to serve as a resource for principals and after-school providers alike. Each case study includes a section on how the program was started, who the key players are, how it is staffed and managed, how it is funded, and what the principal?s role in the program is. For more information, visit the after-school resources section of NAESP’s website: http://www.naesp.org/afterschool. Here you will also find downloadable resources from the case study sites, including training manuals, registration forms, and evaluation documents.
