Afterschool workshop trains 175
Nov, 2011 - With topics such as childhood obesity and the “mind of a sparrow,” the 175 afterschool providers who attended the TCEA Afterschool Workshop on Saturday, November 12, went away with skills they could use on the following Monday.
The annual training was “very successful” according to Helen Kimsey, TCEA Executive Director and prime planner of the event. Participants came from the YMCA, YWCA, area schools, and San Antonio Youth.
Local experts presented 36 breakouts that gave tips on handling difficult students, entertaining tiny ones, incorporating academics in outdoor games, and dealing with bullying.
“Instead of training administrators, this was training for youth leaders - people who work directly with the children,” Kimsey said. “People tell me this was the most useful workshop they ever attended.”
Other comments:
“Each session was better than the last.”
“I wish I could attend all of sessions.”
“It made me feel important.”
“I enjoyed networking with peers.”
“I have attended 4 years, and I learn something new and valuable every time.”
The event lasted all day, with lunch provided.
