Definitions of Key Terms and Concepts The following guidance provides concepts, values, and terms associated with the 21st CCLC program. They are defined below to provide program guidance, clarification and establish a common understanding. Academic Enrichment Enrichment activities expand on students' learning in ways that differ from the methods used during the school day. They often are interactive and project focused. They enhance a student's education by bringing new concepts to light or by using old concepts in new ways. These activities are fun for the student, but they also impart knowledge. They allow the participants to apply knowledge and skills learned in school to real-life experiences. Academic Improvement/Remediation These activities specifically target students whose academic performance has been deemed to be in need of improvement given that the student is not performing at grade level, is failing, or is otherwise performing below average. Academic improvement programs are designed to address deficiencies in student academic performance. Activities in this category may involve tutoring, academic enrichment, or other forms of service delivery that specifically involve students identified as in need of academic improvement. Activities for Limited English Proficient Students These activities specifically target students with limited English proficiency and are designed to further enhance students' ability to utilize the English language. Activities Targeting Adult Family Members Activities targeting Adult Family Members must require ongoing and sustained participation by the adult family member in order to achieve the acquisition of knowledge or a skill that is meant to be imparted through participation in the service or activity. Examples of activities that conform to these requirements would include GED classes, classes on how to develop a resume, employment and interview support classes, effective parenting strategies, and interactive literacy activities between parents and their children. Applicant Agency The agency/organization that assumes fiduciary responsibility and oversight for the 21st CCLC program and who will serve as the fiscal agent is the Applicant Agency. Career/Job Training These activities may target either youth or adults participating in the 21st CCLC program and are designed to support the development of a defined skill set that is directly transferable to a specific vocation, industry, or career. For youth participating in center programming, activities that are designed to expose youth to various types of careers and which help inform youth of the skills needed to obtain a given career could also be considered in this activity category.
