21st Century After School Program
As I was student teaching an after school program was introduced to my school and I was asked to be a part of it. This involved tutoring students who needed help socially, academically, and physically. This was an after school program that welcomed every student. Most of the students had ADHD. This program involved students working on homework or in a fitness group for the first hour then switching groups. Another day would be homework and games/strategy. I think that this program is really important to have to help students work on social skills and homework. Parents were really excited to hear about this program because they wanted to help their children succeed in school. It was really touching to hear the support that came from these families.

I love the idea of this after school program! I have been doing a lot of research and talking with parents of students who have ADHD and one of their major concerns are the social interaction that their children have with peers. These parents are worried that their children will be labeled as outcasts or not be able to fit in with their peers. I think the idea of this program would really help these kids have the support they need from adults to work with their peers.
