Johns Hopkins Offers Online After-School,
Summer Learning Certificate
Johns Hopkins is offering an online graduate certificate in out-of-school-time
learning to help after-school and summer learning directors and managers run
exceptional programs.
The National Center
for Summer Learning (NCSL),
a research and advocacy center in the Johns Hopkins School
of Education, administers the 15-credit program, designed to address the
increased nationwide need for highly skilled after-school and summer learning
providers.
Focusing on program leadership, the certificate
targets the skills that program directors
and managers need to effectively run
high-quality out-of-school-time programs
in both formal and informal settings.
The certificate, which can be combined
with another School of Education certificate
to complete a master's degree, blends nonprofit management skills with academic
and youth development strategies and allows busy professionals the opportunity
to complete the certificate by taking part-time, online classes, requiring only
three face-to-face meetings and attendance at the NCSL's "Summer
Changes Everything" conference April 16-17 in Chicago, Illinois.
For information about the certificate,
including a list of required courses,
