General Program Goals:
Activity Leaders will
increase
communication with
classroom teachers
TARGET Staff will communicate their needs for curriculum info to teachers so teachers can assist in
keeping Activity Leaders apprised of curriculum, homework, etc. In addition, Activity Leaders will
communicate with classroom teachers about students’ participation and achievement two times yearly
(November and February) using a standard feedback form, and will address pressing individual student concerns
immediately with the classroom teacher.
1. Get syllabus from teachers at the beginning of each year.
2. Brick will initiate weekly reminder emails and quick updates via short meetings with teachers before
or after Afters
3. Help teachers understand how important their communication with and support of the program is
4. Feedback form to teachers in November and February
Continue to build
Community Link
involvement
Each TARGET Afters class adopts a Chelan community entity as their link. TARGET classes learn about
their link’s role in the community, visit their link, and then do reading and math activities in Afters that relate
to the work of their link. Ultimately, this project gives students the opportunity to apply real-world
connections to the work they do in Afters, builds relationships with their community and also fosters an
awareness of how they can be a productive community member.
Program Description: Fifty students in 6th-– 8th grade attend our CMS TARGET Afters program four days per week, after school, for 23 weeks
per year. Monday through Thursday each week, students attend their ‘Hub’, the ‘Homework Help Center’, or the ‘Skills Center’ as their TARGET
Afters experience
The HUB: In the hub, TARGET Afters Activity Leaders help students learn group skills, study skills, and find activities that will grow and nurture
their interest or their ‘spark’. Kids meet once or twice a week in their hub where they are given opportunities to build positive relationships with
adults and peers (with a student /teacher ratio of 10/1). Spark activities are additionally offered in monthly thematic units so students can
additionally explore their interests or ‘spark.’
The Homework Help Center: Students get individualized help with homework, help studying for tests and working on projects, or help with
tracking their grades and assignments. All TARGET Afters students are welcome in the homework center on days they are not in their hub or any
time that homework or assignments are pressing. Activity Leaders model and teach study and organizational skills to students as they are working
on assignments.
The Skills Center: The TARGET Afters Skills Center is an opportunity for those students who have finished all their assignments and homework to
build pre-identified skills through games, puzzles, and problem solving activities, either as a group or individually.
