Toni,
Thank you for your email. The CA Dept. of Education (CDE) administers two
different competitive grant-funded after school program opportunities -
the After School Education & Safety (ASES) Program (formerly known as the
Before and After School Safe Learning & Partnerships Program or B/ASLSNPP)
and the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program (21st CCLC). I
can offer you a number of resources:
a. You can find information and updates about both of the state's programs
on our web site at www.cde.ca.gov/afterschool/. Both programs require an
academic assistance component as well as an educational enrichment
component.
2. Please feel free to contact any of the B/ASLSNPP grantees to learn more
about the programs and strategies they use. The list of grantees is
available on our web site. The 21st CCLC grants have not yet been
released due to the state's budget crisis so there is not yet a listing of
21st CCLC grantees on our web site.
3. Please feel free to contact the regional lead for region 11 - Los
Angeles County. Her name is Madeline Hall and she can be reached at (562)
922-6112 or at Hall_Madeline@lacoe.edu. Madeline is particularly
knowlegable about local after school programs and resources. She is
assisted by others in the region and can also put you in touch with one of
the Regional Learning Centers (RLC)in Region 11. The Regional Learning
Centers are after school programs that already have in place a number of
exemplary promising practices for after school. The RLCs provide
mentoring and teaching opportunitites for other after school programs.
4.I'd also like to refer you to a number of web site where you will find
additional information. You'll find that there is a national movement of
folks interested in improving after school programs.Please visit:
-the AFterschool Alliance at www.afterschoolalliance.org
- The C.S. Mott Foundation at www.mott.org
- ERIC Clearinghous on Information & Technology at www.thegateway.org
I hope this information is helpful for you!
