Resources for 21st Century Community Learning Center / Texas ACE
Posted by TheGrantCoaches on January 11, 2011
I am going to be writing a proposal for the Texas Education Agency 21st Century Community Learning Center this winter and have written a few in the past. While I don’t want your proposal to beat mine, here are a couple of tools that you will find useful in designing your program.
The National Center for Afterschool – AfterSchool Training Toolkit
The Finance Project’s Out-of-School Time Clearinghouse, which supports sustainability and is also available at The Out-of-School Time Clearinghouse
The Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP), which provides a bibliography on out of school time
National Afterschool Association and National Institute on Out-of-School Time, are sources for standards and professional development
Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization and a provider of services for 21st CCLC (disclaimer, I am a board member of CIS in Corpus Christi).
The Grant Coaches can help you navigate these resources to design a 21st CCLC proposal that is research-based and meets the needs of your students and community. Click here for additional information.
