About the Conference
On July 19-20, 2007, the Center for After-School Excellence convened Excellence through Inquiry: A Conference on After-School Research, attended by over 40 researchers, evaluators, funders, and practitioners in Manhasset, New York. The goal of the conference was to bring together the perspectives of a diverse group of researchers to discuss the issues of quality, professional development, engagement, and outcomes in after-school programs. Over the course of two days, participants presented recent research findings and engaged in discussion of how research can improve the quality of after-school programs and help advance a public policy agenda that supports after-school programming.
The website includes summaries of the various sessions, individual presentations, discussions, and links to download presentation slides and related publications.
