Welcome

The U.S. Department of Education is pleased to announce that the 2011 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Summer Institute will be held at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD, from Tuesday, July 26, 2011 to Wednesday, July 27, 2011 with a preconference session for SEA Coordinators and Project Directors on Monday, July 25, 2011.

This year’s theme, “A Network of Partners Supporting Increased Learning in 21st CCLC Programs,” captures the direction of the program as we strive to develop afterschool activities that include and support the President’s education goals and initiatives. Speakers and presenters will share invaluable experiences and insight related to developing, implementing, and sustaining afterschool programs, today and into the future. The agenda offers a selection of over 100 interactive breakout sessions that are designed to include new and innovative ideas for activities, technical assistance for managing programs, and strategies and data on afterschool programming that can be transported to the workplace for your immediate use to educate America’s children. See you in July!
