A Comprehensive Approach to After School
The Office of Education works hard to fulfill Mayor Coleman's promise to prepare our city
for the next generation. A historic step forward was taken when a new model for after school
programs was designed in 2000. Four pilot sites were created at area community centers;
Feddersen, Sawyer, Marion Franklin and Sullivant Gardens. This model incorporates trained
staff, state of the art technology, high expectations and high performance standards designed
to gauge student's academic achievement and to also provide participants with a safe place to
learn and play when school is out.
Each program contains six components:
- A nutritious snack, which the children receive as soon as they arrive at the site from
school;
- Academic assistance, including help with their homework , science projects, literacy
tutoring and computer math;
- Enrichment activities such as cooking, field trips, drama and art;
- Prevention programs in anger management, substance abuse, violence and peer mediation;
- Recreation and socialization through basketball, board games, outdoor play and group
activities;
- Strong family involvement, including family fun nights, resource referrals, parent/staff
conferences and newsletters.
