Should Out-of-School-Time Staff Be Trained Like Teachers?
Webinar
May 14, 2012 - 3:00 pm to May 14, 2012 - 4:00 pm
Event Host(s): Education WeekProviding high-quality, cost-effective professional development can be a challenge for out-of-school time programs, because many of them face limited funding and their staff members tend to be young, part-time workers who rarely commit to the job for long.
Debate is stirring over what core competencies these workers should possess. How can OST programs provide professional development that increases staff effectiveness while maintaining staffers' distinctiveness from the traditional teacher? Participants listened to two OST experts discuss the latest ideas on providing professional development for staff members.
