Professional Development

NAA publishes fresh, new content every week covering a wide variety of topics related to the field of aftershool. In addition, NAA offers a variety of opportunities for virtual professional development (PD) through meaningful content, conversations and connections. Click here to see full descriptions of virtual PD offerings.

If you missed the fifteen-minute Webinar series, Engaging Youth in Language & Literacy, that's OK. We've organized all of the content here for you!

In the same time it takes to check your e-mail, you can boost your professional expertise in the areas of language and literacy for your afterschool program! The National AfterSchool Association, in partnership with the Youth Today Out-of-School Time Hub, created a unique webinar series consisting of four fifteen-minute webinars on engaging youth in language and literacy during out-of-school time (OST).

Listen and download to:

  • Learn proven techniques developed and used by afterschool professionals.
  • Understand how language and literacy can be implemented in a variety of ways through community building, art, sports, and cooking.
  • Receive valuable materials with activities and ideas you can immediately begin implementing into your program.
