CDE After School Division After School Division Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results 1. Vision and Goals “I have a growing sense of the vision, and am excited by it. New leadership, especially with the new Superintendent at the helm, they are on track. I’m glad to hear that the strategic planning process is underway, and reaching out to people in the field.” “Creating a shared vision that matters to people, and keeping people focused in that direction needs to be a primary focus. The ASD can offer much more to the field beyond implementing the law and distributing grant funding.”

CDE After School Division After School Division Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results 2. Communications “The Division should create a much more developed web site that could be used as a place for exchange of ideas. It can offer a statewide picture of the field, and help people learn about what other communities are doing. It can provide a map of the availability of various intermediaries and TA providers that offer program support.” “We need ongoing communication so that there is a sense of connection—‘I’m here with some new tools, ideas, best practices to help you do your work better’—instead of making site visits solely when something is wrong.”

CDE After School Division After School Division Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results 3. Accountability “The Division needs to move away from being strictly compliance-driven, in contrast to talking about quality programming for kids; we have to put these two things together.” “We need to put in place a system that provides clear benchmarks and an accountability structure - so that it is clear to all players what the parameters are. No matter where you go in the state you could recognize it, whether a program is urban, rural, etc. Where there is a state contract, there is quality.”

CDE After School Division After School Division Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results Stakeholder Survey and Interview Results 4. Grant Funding and Administration “Regarding CDE’s work on 21st Century and ASES—they allow lots of lead time, and are good stewards of those funds, which serve many students.” “The 21st Century and ASES applications should more closely resemble one another. The 21st Century application is far too complex, which can prevent low-resourced communities from applying. On the other hand, the ASES application is too brief, requiring little advance program planning. This has important repercussions for the field, when program managers don’t spend time to think through what the goals are for their programs.”

Technical Assistance “The Division should push the money for Technical Assistance as far down as possible, so that the resources are available to everyone—anything that can be done to build local capacity for technical assistance is welcome.” “The ASD should query the field about what kind of Technical Assistance is needed, and then use that data to make decisions. For example, identify programs whose grants are being reduced due to lack of attendance, and then design TA around a specific related issue. There are already certain things that practitioners in the field know need to be addressed.”
