Maine 4-H Afterschool Academy--A Professional Development Opportunity for Out-of-School-Time Providers
Lobley, Jennifer; Ouellette, Kristy L.
Journal of Extension, v51 n3 Article 3TOT6 Jun 2013
The Maine 4-H Afterschool Academy trained 369 after-school and out of school time providers in 2011. This easy-to-adapt professional development opportunity used blended learning, a combination of in-person and Web-based opportunities. Providers successfully learned concepts and practical knowledge regarding 4-H, specifically 4-H Science. In post-training evaluations, 86% of participants reported feeling more confident in incorporating science, engineering, and technology in their afterschool program. This blended learning approach eliminated some barriers Extension faculty face when designing programing for afterschool providers.
