Getting the Right Fit: Designing a Professional Learning Community for Out-of-School Time

By Femi Vance, Emily Salvaterra, Jocelyn Atkins Michelsen, and Corey Newhouse

However, the workshops commonly used to train OST staff are not adequately preparing practitioners to deliver quality programs that can benefit youth(Durlak & Weissberg, 2007; Smith et al, 2009).
