Engaging with Afterschool Families Now
In this webinar, Illinois Quality Afterschool team members provide some strategies and ideas on how afterschool programs can engage with our students and their families at all times, and especially when we are physically separated. They also talk about best practices for building and supporting our families remotely, “bringing the fun” from afar, and providing access to online enrichment that complements (but doesn’t duplicate) remote academic learning.
