ISS-AP participants in the Summer Learning strand

The Individualized System of Support for Afterschool Programs (ISS-AP) is an intensive coaching model that brings afterschool leaders together around specific topic areas or strands for a six to eight week learning experience. Each ISS-AP strand is facilitated by a coach with expertise in the area. All strands incorporate both group experiences (workshops, webinars, and conference calls) with individualized coaching that takes place between the ISS-AP coach and afterschool participant. Each ISS-AP strand meets for two workshops (see dates below) and other work is scheduled by the ISS-AP coach to accommodate participants’ schedules.
