1) How
to Manage Communications in an Out-of-School Time Crisis
A crisis or emergency can happen anytime, any place in school
or out …and they don't necessarily occur during normal school hours. If a
crisis situation occurs in your program, do you have a plan and the tools to
handle communications appropriately and strategically? What steps will you take
to manage the developing incident and its impact on students, program
participants, their families, and staff? How will you handle the aftermath,
that period when we want things to be “normal” again?
This informative and engaging workshop will help you
understand the basics of both strategic communications and crisis
communications, and provide you with the tools you may need in the likely event
you or your program experiences a crisis.
2) Advocate for State and National Policy
Experience the history of national policy with visits to
national monuments, learn from the experts in policy affecting your state at
national office visits, and learn how to present your message with a capitol
hill visit.
- Hear directly from the nation's top policy leaders about
timely and education reforms such as Race to the Top (RTTA), Full-Service
Schools and Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
(ESEA);
- Explore
how these reforms could affect Community Education and the programs that
fall under its umbrella;
- Take
in our nation's historical monuments and chambers while learning
firsthand how your state's programs and concerns fit into the emerging
educational landscape; and
- Experience
how you can most effectively be the voice for your students in DC and back
home.
3) After
School Accreditation Process (ASAP)
Who benefits from attending?
Afterschool Program Directors, Community Education
Directors, Foundations and other Funders of Afterschool Programs (including
state departments of education and human services) and school/community based
and faith based administrators.
Why you should come!
Wondering why to bother with accreditation or what all this
talk about self –assessment and continuous improvement? Spend two days
learning how to objectively assess your program, other programs and how
accreditation can mean increased revenue and recognition for your afterschool
program. Participants will get hands-on training on what it takes to be
an ASAP team member and/or what it means to have your program accredited.
This session includes visit(s) to afterschool programs in the Washington, DC
area and several other hands-on learning experiences.

National Committee
for Rural Revitalization
presents its FOLLOW-UP
forum on March 8th in Washington D.C.
Revitalizing
America’s Rural Communities
The forum this March will move forward action
plans to create a national strategy and sustained collaborative process amongst
a cross-section of organizations to support a common agenda of rural
re-development and sustainability. The
National Community Education Association (NCEA) has offered to mobilize key
stakeholders in the fields of education, economic and workforce development,
entrepreneurship, energy, health, and community building, to implement
innovative strategies to revitalize this crucial part of America.
Leaders from national organizations across
the country will gather to share ideas and reach consensus on a program to
"revitalize America’s
rural communities.” The scheduled
National Forum is, of course, not the first effort to bring people together to
discuss rural revitalization. However, we want this meeting to emerge with a
national action plan. There are a number of developmental models and programs
in rural American communities that address specific aspects of rural
revitalization; but what is needed is a comprehensive countrywide approach to holistic
rural revitalization. The Forum, through
a collaborate effort, will have as its primary goal the determination of the
best model for rural revitalization and
the most effective ways to integrate the model within our rural communities. We
will include in this day a decision as to who needs to be part of this
collaborative effort, the stakeholders that will be impacted, specific goals
and objectives what will be part of the plan, and a process for implementation.

recognition & awareness for youth voice to be included in community
leadership, issues and decision making related to our future.” |

| youthEDGE is asking for your
recommendation for a youth to represent your program to join us as we embark on a new
venture to enable young people to become social entrepreneurs and use their voices to
make an impact on their community. The major strategy is to create a national
network of youth leaders who connect with one another to share ideas and skills
on how through educating, demonstrating, guiding and enabling, they can become
change agents to make an impact at local, state and national levels.
youthEDGE
was created at the NCEA Fall 2009 Conference by the youth in attendance. They became aware of the need to include their peers in Community Education leadership. This is a wonderful opportunity to include
youth from your local community. This training and experience will be valuable to your program and
community.
