Last year the AFA Advisory Council adopted "Core Competencies for Afterschool Staff" which identified two sets of Core Competencies-- one for line staff and one for supervisors. Core Competencies are a specific set of knowledge and skills which local and national stakeholders have deemed important elements to being a highly competent afterschool professional. These sets of Core Competencies are based on national research and then vetted by San Francisco representatives of the school district, city departments, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, funders and parents.
DCYF and the AFA Advisory Council sponsored the creation of an on-line training on the core competencies which was recently released. Online, you will find a copy of the competencies, a toolkit for putting them to use in your program, a PowerPoint presentation, and video clips of how providers in San Francisco have incorporated the competencies into their programs. Go to this link for these great resources.
DCYF will also be offering two opportunities for you to attend a training to help you become familiar with the Core Competencies and give you tools and ideas to implement them in your afterschool program.
Mark your calendars:
