Carrie Lienemann, director of Kids Klub, is a participant in the
Achievery Learning Cohort, a project of the National
Afterschool Association with support from AT&T. Lienemann is one of 10 Out of School Time professionals
participating in the project.
As
part of the project, Lienemann will work with fellow OST professionals to
develop tools for the field of youth development and after-school to help
with vetting online resources like The Achievery by AT&T. The
cohort will learn from and share with peers about strategies for
finding, adapting, and implementing free online resources.
“I was so
excited to find out I had been chosen to join the NAA Achievery. The
innovative curriculum provided to us by this opportunity will engage and
support the students attending our program," Lienemann said.
Between
March and November, she will meet monthly with
fellow cohort members from across the country. The first meeting was at the NAA’s convention on March 19 to 22 in Orlando, Fla.
During those meetings programs, participants:
● Learned from and share with peers about strategies for finding, adapting, and implementing free online resources
● Identified a question to research and explore through the creation of a product (rubric, tip sheet, curriculum plan, etc.)
● Tested their product throughout the summer and make revisions
● Shared products and reflections with other OST professionals through webinars or articles in the fall of 2023>
