This training will provide tools for creating out-of-school time programs that effectively connect children's multiple worlds (home, school, after school, peers and community), building on the latest research and best practice on topics such as resiliency, homework support, and youth engagement. The curriculum is linked to the Maine Learning Results and the Common Core as a way to assist out-of-school time programs in Maine to engage children and youth in child-centered, hands-on learning.
This 45-hour training is completed in 11 modules. To demonstrate your understanding, you will be required to create curriculum plans and projects for your out-of-school time setting. Please plan to spend 4 to 5 hours a week on this training.
