Join us in
Jacksonville for the most popular afterschool conference in the nation!
Dear Friends,
Afterschool is a distinct learning environment that requires specialized instruction, materials, programs, and resources. Many educators are looking for a one-stop shop…a place to get information, connect with colleagues, and renew their commitment to the kids they serve. For 10 years, Foundations’ trademark Beyond School Hours conferences have brought afterschool educators together to share ideas about quality programming for children and youth. This year’s conference, Beyond School Hours XI: Bringing Learning to Life, is sure to please.
We are excited to announce that our friend, Dr. Maya Angelou, distinguished author and world renowned poet, will return as our special guest keynote on Friday, February 15, 2008. Her opening address will be just one of many exciting offerings on the roster of dynamic events and activities.
Join us to:
- Discover the latest professional development, funding, and programming strategies
- Get inspired by dynamic workshops and institutes, presented by experts in the field
- Discuss research, curriculum, evaluation, and program improvement
- Visit model afterschool program sites in Jacksonville to see best practices in action
- Get the latest tools and trends in our exhibit hall featuring quality vendors
- Refresh, renew, and have fun connecting with hundreds of afterschool educators and stakeholders
- Hear Dr. Maya Angelou, one of the most powerful voices of our time
Whether you’re registering for your first Beyond School Hours conference or your 11th, this year’s event in Jacksonville will energize your work with kids. We look forward to seeing you!
Warmly,
Rhonda H. Lauer
Chief Executive Officer
Foundations, Inc.
