Potential School-Community Partners in Eastern Bergen CountyKirsten Richert
Create new or enhanced partnerships to support education by learning about potential resources and organizations to collaborate with in your community. Contains a fun ideation activity you can use with your team to spark innovation and generate impactful ideas. This deck was developed by Richert Innovation Consulting for use during the "Activating Community Partnerships for Education Summit" hosted by The Community Chest of Eastern Bergen County on March 22, 2019.
The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) initiative is the only federal funding source dedicated exclusively to afterschool programs. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) reauthorized 21st CCLC in 2002, transferring the administration of the grants from the U.S. Department of Education to the state education agencies. Each state receives funds based on its share of Title I funding for low-income students. Funds are also allotted to outlying areas and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.The No Child Left Behind Act narrowed the focus of 21st CCLC from a community learning center model, where all members of the community benefited from access to school resources such as teachers, computer labs, gymnasiums and classrooms, to an afterschool program model that provides services only to students attending high-poverty, low-performing schools. The services they provide include Academic enrichment activities that can help students meet state and local achievement standards. They also provide additional services designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program, such as: drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, art, music, and recreation programs, technology education programs, and character education programs. Programs also may provide literacy and related educational development services to the families of children who are served in the program. [1]
Objectives are notions about future desired conditions and are usually embedded in a set of ideas organizations have about their plight and what can be done about it.
