Resources from After School Evaluation Symposium

Posted by on July 14, 2006

On September 22-23, 2005, Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP), with support from the C. S. Mott Foundation, convened the After School Evaluation Symposium, with over 100 researchers, evaluators, policymakers, and practitioners in Washington, D.C. The goal of the 2-day meeting was to bring together the perspectives of diverse stakeholders to inspire new ideas and foster stronger links between research, practice, and policy.

The newly expanded conference presentations section of our website now highlights key themes and resources from the Symposium. These resources include an executive summary with the current state and future directions for the after school field, key themes from the plenary sessions and group discussions, and audio files of the panelists’ presentations.
