Citywide efforts are emerging across the United States to make good after-school and summer programs available to those who need them most – and in some cases to tie learning beyond the school day to the classroom. This Wallace-sponsored feature appeared in the April 2011 issue of JSD (https://learningforward.org/publications/leading-teacher/leading-teacher-blog/the-leading-teacher/2011/04/01/teachers-teaching-teachers-april-2011-vol.-6-no.-7), the journal of Learning Forward, an association for those who work in professional development in education.
