Despite the day-to-day accomplishments that can be enjoyed by after-school program directors and staff members, there often can be an equal number of challenges. One key to clearing these daily hurdles is by building bridges between your after-school program leader and the school principal. Author Paul Young, who was president and CEO of the National AfterSchool Association (2010-2012), director of an after-school program (2005-2010) and an elementary school principal (1986-2004), provides suggestions in 10 areas, including tips that enhance student learning, tips that support principal/program director collaboration, tips that develop advocacy for after-school programming and tips that support parent and community engagement. Young's 101 tips provide positive ideas that will lead to quality programs and positive relationships between after-school programs and school leaders.
