Do educational enrichment activities differ from the academic assistance component?
Yes. The academic assistance component must incorporate a broad array of activities that are designed to help students, particularly students in low-performing schools, meet state and local student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects, such as reading, mathematics, and science. The educational enrichment component must offer an array of additional services, programs, and activities that reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students. Can you provide an example of what an arts program would look like to be in accordance with the new 21st CCLC Program? An arts program that provides educational enrichment to help students meet state and local visual and performing arts academic standards would comply with the regulations of the ASES Program.
