Overview . Mott National Network Conference
The Mott conference that brought together 31 statewide afterschool networks lived up to my high expectations. An incredible menu of choices for clinics, workshops, plenary sessions, site visits did not disappoint.
The 2006 National Network of Statewide Afterschool Networks Meeting brings together teams from C.S. Mott Foundation-funded statewide afterschool networks that are working to further afterschool policies and practices. Focused on leading and learning together, the national network meeting is an opportunity to learn, reflect, connect, and share ideas and strategies.
Three key goals unite the networks:
1. Create a sustainable structure of statewide, regional, and local partnerships, particularly school-community partnerships, focused on supporting policy development at all levels.
2. Support the development and growth of statewide policies that will secure the resources that are needed to sustain new and existing afterschool programs.
3. Support statewide systems to ensure programs of high quality.
The session summaries that will also note which goal the session is designed to impact.
