Integrating Education and Afterschool Project
The Integrating Education and Afterschool project, started in 2003, was an 18-month initiative supported by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to assist municipal leaders in viewing afterschool programs as an essential resource in efforts to raise student achievement.
The 6 cities involved in the project were Brockton, Mass.; Cleveland, Ohio; Little Rock, Ark.; Norfolk, Va.; Pasadena, Calif.; and Waco, Texas. Each city focused on three goals:
- Improving coordination and communication between school and afterschool programs;
- Integrating learning standards in afterschool; and
- Addressing the needs of the whole child.
