The After-School All-Stars has six different, yet related, components, each
led by a certified teacher selected by the Middle School principals:
- Academic Remediation and Enrichment (tutorial, homework, research, Media
Center, math & science)
- Sports & Recreation (golf, tennis, gymnastics, chess, outdoor education,
wellness and nutrition)
- Career Development (career prep success, Junior Achievement, mentoring, job
shadowing, student leadership, oratory skills)
- Technology (MIRACLES and Dallas Austin Recording Studios) http://www.miracles.org/
- Cultural Erichment (art, dance, music)
- Parental Involvement
Academic remediation and enrichment is more than homework assistance and
tutoring. While it does provide a time for the students to receive help with
homework assignments, the after-school program enriches that experience through
individual and one-on-one instruction by a certified teacher. Sports and
recreation includes both traditional and non-traditional exposures to individual
and team play. Carrying on the tradition of the Inner-City Games, good
sportsmanship is always a top priority. Young people (even in the middle
schools) need to be exposd to a number of career choices. Students in the after
school program have in-job shadowing, mentoring, improved oratory skills, and
other career development programs
In
this electronic age, children in the after school program are
given instruction in a wide variety
of technologie, ranging from
electronics to web design.
A unique program developed for the
After-School All-Stars is
MIRACLES. In cooperation with Dallas Austin Recording Projects,
a
fully equipped and operational professional
recording studio is available for students to not
only perform
in, but
to learn the unique engineering skills of professional
recording studios.
