Certified teachers aren’t the only ones to work after school.  We have huge numbers of paraprofessionals, college students, youth leaders and church groups running and managing afterschool programs. Unfortunately, many of these professionals and volunteers don’t have the time nor the inclination to go to school and go through a certification process.   

However, as they spend so much time with kids, they must learn basic competencies in order to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for all students.

Afterschool Guru is our afterschool solution.  We provide coaching, professional development, and many other support systems to help staff improve their basic skills and deepen their pedagogical knowledge to improve the service they provide to students and families.
