Starting, Operating, and Sustaining an Afterschool Program

Starting an afterschool program can be a difficult task, particularly in areas where funding and support are scarce. It needs a combination of research and planning; developing program vision mission, design, and continuous improvement systems; workforce development; licensing; policies; and protocols; and risk management. It also highlights the importance of the role that community intermediaries play in supporting cross-sector partnerships among various stakeholders through a systems approach.

A few considerations to build high-quality afterschool programs include:

Research and Planning: Initiating a task force that represents various local stakeholder groups and individuals committed to the cause of starting an afterschool program can support the initial research and planning process. This includes conducting a needs assessment through surveys, interviews, and focus groups to determine types of afterschool programs needed in the community, leveraging existing resources, and identifying systems and supports that need to be established.

Funding and Budgeting: Most programs will likely need some start-up funding to get off the ground. Communities need to learn about federal, state, or local funds as well as look for private and in-kind donations to support afterschool programs. Programs will also need to budget for both start-up and daily operating costs keeping in mind the ability to pay for these programs.

State Regulations: States have minimum licensing requirements that apply to programs serving children, including afterschool programs. These requirements typically vary for types of providers, and often include separate requirements for school-age care settings. Programs should contact their state’s licensing agency to find out about the requirements. Private and public funding may also have separate requirements.

Partnerships: Developing a collaborative cross-sector partnership that includes schools, juvenile systems, social service and other such allied youth fields¹ is important to leverage the multiple settings where learning happens. School-OST partnership is even more essential to recruit students, improve staff engagement, enable alignment of a shared vision of learning, and maximize resource usage like facilities, staff, data, curriculum, etc.²

Vision and Mission: Programs need to develop a collaborative vision and mission that is inclusive of families, youth, schools, community partners, etc., for what success looks and feels like for young people. It is also essential to consider that the learning setting is developmentally appropriate, safe and supportive, built on positive relationships, and meets the needs and interests of young people.³

Organizational Structures, Policies and Protocols: Programs should also consider if they want to organize as a government, non-profit, for-profit, school-based organization, or partner with existing national or local organizations. It is essential to develop policies and protocols for enrollment, staffing, transportation, family engagement, behavior management, food, health and safety, and reporting of child abuse.

High-Quality Programming and Continuous Quality Improvement Systems: There is a growing body of information on curricula and activities for afterschool programs and providers. However, it is important that programs implement evidence-based practices, or core components in order to evaluate whether they have attained their intended outcomes. Building a quality continuous improvement system that is nested in a low-stakes accountability approach that provides supports to staff to build their capacity.⁴ Some researchers also reason that developmental relationships between young people and adults may be more important than any particular curriculum or program element in successful afterschool programs.⁵

For more information about starting a program, contact your state Lead Agency for Child Care. Other national and local foundations and intermediaries have also provided roadmaps for building afterschool systems by bringing together community resources to improve youth outcomes. ⁶

Introduction

Children spend approximately 25 percent of their waking hours in school, and policy leaders are often striving to provide more learning opportunities through afterschool programs.   

Broadly defined, afterschool programs (sometimes called OST or Out-of-School Time Programs) are school or community-based programs that offer academic and enrichment activities in the hours that follow the school day. These programs serve children of all ages and include academic support, workforce development opportunities, mentoring relationships, and more. As shown below, these programs are funded and supported legislatively in a variety of ways.  

What the Research Says

Research shows that high-quality afterschool programs improve students’ educational outcomes, school attendance, and social and emotional learning. Afterschool Alliance claims that quality afterschool programs understand that children and youth in different age groups vary in academic, psychological, and physical activity needs. Consistent participation in afterschool programs has shown lower dropout rates and has helped close achievement gaps for low-income students. For older youth, regular participation in an afterschool program may also reduce risky behaviors and help them gain college and career-needed skills. 

Afterschool programming has been shown to improve social and academic outcomes for students, however, research points to certain key elements for success. To fully realize all the positives of afterschool programming, students must receive a regular dosage, adequately trained staff, and high-quality programming. Since 2004, Afterschool Alliance has provided the most comprehensive national and state-specific account of how children and youth spend their afterschool hours. In their 2020 America After 3PM report, one of the biggest takeaways is the continued demand for afterschool programs. According to their research, for every child enrolled, three are waiting to get into a program. That equates to roughly 25 million children who are unable to access afterschool programs. The barriers cited are program cost, availability, and transportation or accessibility.  

Funding for Afterschool

The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, the only dedicated federal funding stream, is available specifically for local afterschool, before-school, and summer learning programs. Through state education-awarded grants, this program currently serves nearly 2 million youths. Research shows that several barriers to access afterschool programming exist, and funding continues to be one of those. Cost and access continue to be barriers to participation in afterschool programs, with about 3 in 5 parents citing this the reason they did not enroll their child in a program. As federal funding has not kept up with inflation, the 21st CCLC funding level is now $10 million lower in inflation-adjusted terms since 2014. Thus, leaving the burden of funding such programs falls on states, communities, and families.  Support for engaging and enriching afterschool programs reached its highest level in America After 3PM history in 2020 in, with 87 percent bipartisan parent support of public funding for programs that provide afterschool opportunities to students in communities that have few opportunities for children and youth. However, allocating additional funding for afterschool can be difficult with tight state budgets.  

Currently, twelve states allocate funds dedicated to afterschool programs. An additional eleven states fund initiatives that include afterschool programs as an allowable use. Other states tap into other funds to support afterschool. For example, grant programs in Tennessee and Nebraska receive a portion of their state lottery profits. Missouri is currently considering similar legislation for their unclaimed lottery prizes. Others receive funds from state departments of education or social services. 

The pandemic has brought funding barriers to the forefront. According to the Hunt Institute’s tracker at least 17 states have allocated COVID relief funds to afterschool and summer programs so far. However, a recent survey has cited that 61 percent of afterschool programs have reported high levels of concern around permanent closure.  

Afterschool Policy

States’ efforts to support afterschool include focusing policy and funding on certain populations (e.g. at-risk or older youth) or issue areas (e.g. STEM). Other states have taken steps to collect information the afterschool landscape within their state to inform future policy and funding opportunities. 

Session 2021 Legislative Summary

During the 2021 legislative year, policymakers continued to focus on addressing disrupted learning due to COVID-19. One approach lawmakers have used to reimagine accelerated learning is leveraging quality afterschool programs to reengage students. 

States have looked at supporting afterschool programs by appropriating funds. For example, California Assembly Bill 86 allocated $4.6 billion for Expanded Learning Opportunities Grants. There is no application required to receive these grants; however, to be eligible for the full funding, districts must implement a learning recovery program that provides supplemental instruction, support for social and emotional well-being, and meals to specific student groups.  

Another trend around afterschool programming revolved around investing in literacy-based afterschool programs. In Louisiana, with the passing of Senate Bill 222 in 2021, that looks like focusing on comprehensive early literacy initiatives. The bill focuses on students in kindergarten through third grade who demonstrate literacy gaps. The bill focuses on students in kindergarten through third grade who demonstrate literacy gaps. These students are provided research-based literacy interventions and supports, which may include before- and after-school literacy programs, by a teacher or tutor with specialized literacy training.  

Over the years, states have enacted legislation to support the creation of expanded learning opportunities councils and task forces over the past years. These members (typically, compromised of state agency representatives, community stakeholders, and state legislators) are often assigned to collect information on the state’s extended learning opportunities landscape. Oklahoma did this in 2021 by enacting House Bill 1882 and creating the Out of Schooltime Task Force. The 19-member task force will review existing maps of afterschool programs and highlight gaps in access, identify and evaluate practices to improve and increase the number of quality, affordable out-of-school programs in the state, and review tools to evaluate successful outcomes of programs. 

One of the newer trends in 2021 was legislation that acknowledges that engaging learning experiences can take place outside of the classroom and students may receive credits for such experiences. By enacting House Bill 172 in Idaho, it adds to existing law to provide that students may receive credit for extended learning opportunities or by demonstrating prior knowledge of a content area. Similarly, Alabama enacted House Bill 486 that provides a means for allowing students to request and receive credit for participation in extended learning opportunities.   

Although COVID-19 continues to leave some unknowns, legislation around afterschool programs continues to be a focus for state policymakers moving forward. 

Additional Afterschool Policy Areas

The following examples provide a snapshot of legislation and is not exhaustive.

Additional Afterschool Policy Areas

APPROACH	SUMMARY
At-Risk Youth	Afterschool programs provide a safe space for youth during the hours when many are unsupervised and participation in risky behaviors is especially prevalent. In some states, programs targeting at-risk youth may receive special funding. Illinois Teen REACH New York Empire State Afterschool Program
Council/Taskforce	Councils or task forces have been established by legislatures in at least 16 states. These groups typically convene for a specified amount of time, are comprised of state agency representatives, community stakeholders and often times state legislators, and are tasked with collecting information on the state’s afterschool and/or summer learning landscape and making policy recommendations to the legislature. Rhode Island Indiana Delaware Texas Massachusetts Washington
Data	Since 2014, with support from the Charles S. Mott Foundation, NCSL has worked with 39 states on data grant projects. NCSL has provided technical assistance to statewide afterschool networks as they collected new and compiled existing state-specific afterschool and summer learning data and shared this data with state legislators and other key stakeholders via written reports and/or data release events. Many grantees have gathered information on afterschool programs and gaps in access to afterschool, while others have conducted afterschool return on investment studies.

Programs for schoolchildren after grades 8, 9, 10, 11 in Europe, abroad

After reading this article, you will learn about the benefits of receiving a leading secondary education abroad. A list of developed educational programs by the best boarding schools abroad will also be presented.

Prestigious education after 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th grades abroad and in Europe

Currently, most Russian parents face the challenge of getting their child a prestigious secondary education abroad for several reasons. Thus, the goal of building a successful and promising career becomes more feasible in the case of receiving a foreign education after 9grade and at the end of grade 11, as well as through obtaining a professional diploma that meets established international standards. This situation has been repeatedly confirmed in practice.

When deciding to receive a leading primary and secondary education abroad, a foreign and Russian teenager is guaranteed to receive high-quality and useful skills and knowledge. In particular, it is worth noting that within the walls of the best boarding schools in Europe and the United States and other countries, students do not just listen to educational material, but actively participate in the educational process, which has a positive effect on the level of achievement of results. As a key requirement for admission to a rating foreign boarding school, a high level of foreign language proficiency is presented.

Thus, in case of insufficiently high level of knowledge of a foreign language in order to enroll in a prestigious boarding school, in particular in senior classes abroad or obtaining a visa, it is worth paying attention to advanced courses in English and other foreign languages, which are extremely popular among foreigners and Russian teenagers. However, please note that there is an opportunity to choose a top foreign boarding school at the end of grades 6, 7 or 8, which provides teaching as part of an integration program that provides for intensive study of a foreign language.

Upon reaching the level of foreign language proficiency sufficient to master the educational program, additional disciplines are included in the academic course. Our highly qualified specialists, in case of your interest, can select the optimal educational program based on the individual goals and preferences of your child. Regardless of age, everyone can receive an elite secondary education, meeting the established requirements.

Comparison of foreign and Russian educational systems

The key difference between European and Russian secondary schools is due to the lack of choice for schoolchildren, that is, a large list of general disciplines is taught in Russia. As for foreign leading boarding schools, in this case, a small list of academic subjects is taught, which underlie the formation of an education program.

Thus, in the rating boarding schools in the USA and England, a consistent principle is actively applied, which begins when a teenager reaches 12, 13 and 14 years old. In case of departure at the end of 9class in Russia, the student is given a choice in terms of the number of disciplines that correspond to the interests and preferences of the teenager. Thus, they form an educational program on an individual basis. Immediately before entering a ranking university abroad, a foreign applicant purposefully carries out training in 3 or 4 academic subjects within the framework of one of the proposed educational programs, namely:

• aged 16 to 18 years. The certificate of completion of this program is quoted and universally accepted by the admission committees of the best universities in the UK and other countries.
• IB (International Baccalaureate) is an international educational program, the target audience for which are foreign and Russian high school students. This program is distinguished by universality, in addition, the certificate of completion is recognized in all countries of the world. Admission to this course is possible upon reaching the age of 17-18 by a teenager.
• VTEC – is an analogue of the A-level education program, the target audience is high school students. A narrow specialization is envisaged, within the framework of which a certain discipline is studied on a comprehensive basis, while at the same time attention is focused on the practical side of teaching. Foreign and Russian teenagers aged 16 to 18 can apply.
• The High School Diploma Program is a high school education program based on the principles of America’s leading education system. Along with the A-level certificate, it provides an excellent opportunity for a foreign graduate to become a student at the best universities in Canada and the USA and other countries of the world. Russian teenagers aged 14 to 18 can enroll in this effective educational program.
• GCSE / IGCSE – is a certificate of completion of junior high school, namely 9classes, which corresponds to the Russian education system. Teaching is conducted in prestigious boarding schools, which use the British education system in the development of educational programs. The optimal age for completing this academic course is the age range from 14 to 16 years.

Probably you have already noticed that studying abroad after the end of the 11th grade is extremely variable. Thus, numerous high-quality and effective educational programs have been developed aimed at effective preparation for successful admission to elite foreign universities. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the intensive study of the English language. Agree that, without knowing a foreign language at an excellent level, it is impossible to get a high-quality and prestigious education abroad.

It is worth noting that the leading American boarding schools are focused on foreign teenagers, including Russians. Thus, after 2-3 years, you are guaranteed an excellent level of knowledge of the English language due to its intensive teaching. When deciding to receive a foreign rating education at the end of grades 8, 9, 10, you should not have any doubts about the high level of your language skills. Thus, it is not envisaged to conduct English classes on an additional basis, in connection with which, a foreign teenager will be required to perceive the educational material at the level of a native speaker. If you have any doubts about the level of foreign language proficiency, we advise you to contact our highly qualified specialists who will select the best preparatory programs especially for you, providing a significant improvement in language skills in a short period of time, sufficient for successful completion of the course.

The overwhelming majority of European countries practice such an approach, which provides, in addition to obtaining excellent academic preparation, for schoolchildren all the necessary conditions are created to promote the disclosure of talents and abilities in the framework of additional disciplines. In particular, there is an opportunity to visit painting circles, musical education of the wards is provided, in addition, numerous sports sections are open in such sports as skiing, horseback riding, swimming, football, rugby, cycling. If you are interested in the all-round development of your child, you should pay attention to the top boarding schools located in the following countries, such as Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic. In these countries, teaching is conducted in accordance with the accepted international Anglo-American educational model.

In our educational center there are samples of entrance examinations, the writing of which is required for admission to the best foreign boarding schools and colleges. You are given a truly unique opportunity to write them in our center for free. Convenience is guaranteed, because you do not need to go to the boarding school itself. We do not charge fees for services rendered for admission to top educational institutions abroad.

Getting a foreign elite secondary education after 8, 9, 10, 11 grades

As a rule, parents decide to educate their child in the leading foreign private boarding schools because of the excellent and advanced infrastructure, when compared with public schools. In particular, key differences are observed in such parameters as the equipment of laboratories, reading rooms, music and sports halls, in addition, the highest level of stability and reliability is guaranteed. The individual approach used in teaching deserves special attention. Agree that this parameter plays a key role for a 11th grade student due to the final choice of a future specialization, as well as the faculty of a rating university.

As noted above, the key requirement for admission to the best foreign boarding schools is due to a high level of foreign language proficiency. In most cases, an excellent knowledge of the English language is required. In this connection, it is required to provide a document that confirms a high level of knowledge of the English language. In case of insufficient level of proficiency, an opportunity is provided for taking additional courses. At present, it is possible to significantly improve the level of knowledge of the English language in almost any country, regardless of the continent.

Duration varies from 11 to 13 years. To eliminate any difficulties in entering foreign elite universities, we advise Russian teenagers to become holders of international certificates of maturity by completing an educational program at the end of the 9th grade. Thus, staying in a new linguistic and cultural environment for several years helps foreign and Russian teenagers acquire an excellent academic base and achieve a high level of English proficiency. Having such high-quality academic training, a foreign applicant has every opportunity to enter the best foreign educational institutions after the end of the 11th grade.

Benefits of getting secondary education abroad for Russian teenagers

As practice shows, creating career prospects is achieved through obtaining a prestigious classical secondary education abroad, as well as entering the best foreign universities after graduating from grade 11. So, in European countries, Russian teenagers acquire high-quality academic knowledge in general education disciplines, in addition, students face the task of choosing a specialization in high school. In addition to academic knowledge, Russian teenagers develop such personal qualities as independence, responsibility, and decision-making skills.

There are several advantages to obtaining an elite European education. This ensures full immersion in the language environment, contributing to the excellent improvement of the level of foreign language proficiency to the level of a native speaker. The foreign language is determined by the selected country: it can be French, German, Spanish, Italian, etc. Having a prestigious certificate of secondary education in hand, a foreign applicant has every chance of becoming a student of the best and top universities in various countries of the world.

Secondary education in the UK, Canada, USA, Switzerland – the best boarding schools and the price

senior classes.

Among European countries, British secondary education is the most popular and in demand among foreigners. On average, the price of a year in the leading boarding schools in England varies from 14,000 to 25,000 pounds in the case of the chosen full-time format for receiving an elite British education. If the child lives on the territory of the school on a full board basis, the cost increases significantly, ranging from 32 to 40 thousand pounds. Among European countries, the high cost of secondary education is inherent in Switzerland. So, the price of a year on a full board basis approximately varies from 60 to 90 thousand Swiss francs. In the case of a daytime nature, the price in the best boarding schools in Switzerland will be lower, ranging from 20 to 50 thousand Swiss francs.

It should be noted that the formation of the cost of educational programs is based on the type of educational institution, namely general education or specialized. As for the United States, the price of a year in a rating boarding school will vary on average from 40 to 60 thousand dollars. On the contrary, Canada is characterized by a lower cost on a boarding house basis, thus ranging from 35 to 60 thousand dollars.

If you are considering inexpensive options, we are glad that such educational programs have been developed. In particular, our experienced experts will be able to select for you the leading boarding schools, the cost of which does not exceed 25-30 thousand euros per year, in France, Italy, Austria, Germany and the UK.

Child development abroad – the best foreign secondary schools

After staying at a prestigious boarding school, children in their feedback indicate positive emotions from the trip, share vivid impressions, note the effectiveness of classes. Below are the key benefits:

• Immersion in a new linguistic and cultural environment, acquaintance with the traditions and mentality of local residents of a particular country
• Development of abilities in the direction of sports, creativity or other activities secondary education after grades 8, 9 and 10 is of a specialized nature. Effective preparatory programs have been specially developed for foreign teenagers.

Prospective employment becomes closer when you receive both leading secondary and higher education.

Currently i am a senior at the riverside county education academy campus in indio. I have been at this school since i was a freshman and fell in love with it. The teachers are all very committed to making sure you get the help you need to succeed. Since the first day i attended school at RCEA my whole life has changes. I have become a more disciplined, mature, successful individual and i thank all the staff at RCEA for that. I overall recommend this school to any student who would prefer a school with smaller class sized in which you get help when you need it and a school where you can build your character and become a leader.

Having being in a military school has taught me a lot not only about the military but about myself. I transferred into this high school ending sophomore year and I didn’t know anyone there. When I arrived I was automatically approached by three girls who introduced themselves and later on endedbuo become good friends of mine. This school isn’t an ordinary high school as some would say. Here at RCEA you learn to become a leader and learn what it is like to be a cadet part of the California Cadet Corps. You learn all about team work and integrity and qualities and you will need in the future that is to come.

What I like about Riverside County Education Academy is they really focus on their students . I say this because they spend one on one time with you when you don’t understand a certain subject .

What Parents Say

My child has been going to both Big Hugs locations since the age of two years old. Both of my children still attend Big Hugs, when the public school is closed even during the summer break. I really appreciate the entire Big Hugs staff as a working mother it can become difficult juggling my schedule and the staff always works with me. My kids are always well taken care of.

We LOVE Big Hugs! We’ve been going there for the past 9 years since our son was 9months old. When we had our daughter 5years later we know without a doubt she was going there as well. My son was well advanced after graduating from Big Hugs and my daughter is doing great as well. I recommend them to EVERYONE!!

Big Hugs has always been there! My daughter started here at 2 years old and stayed through Pre-K. From potty training through writing her name – She was more than prepared for kindergarten! The staff has been consistent for all the years we have been coming through the doors here, which says a lot. The center is always clean and safe, and the staff is devoted. Betty, Sabah and all of the staff are awesome. Thank you!

My family and I were looking for before & after school care for my daughter who wasn’t over crowded, fun, patient, and caring. After we meet with Mrs. Noble, we instantly knew that Big Hugs was perfect. We were treated like family, not just a number! My daughter was excited to see Mrs. Noble in the mornings and even asked us numerous times if she could go back in the afternoons.

Richard Sapir – Infernal Calculation » Page 27 » Read online books of all genres for free

He came to Ex-el Sis. corp.” in 1980 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree in computer science. nine0005

At that time, computer technology was booming, not like now. Then it seemed that the heavens were not the limit, but only a step on the way to the cosmic heights. Then on the spot “Ex-el Sis. corp.” there was the Excelsior System company, and Chip Kraft did not even think of taking even one peep into the office of the general director, not to mention taking it personally.

In those days he worked as an installer, but not just an installer. Excelsior has already developed powerful supercomputers: Umbra-44, Dray-1000, and ES Quantum-3000, the first supercomputer with programmable artificial intelligence. And none other than Chip was responsible for equipping numerous institutions that were part of the Pentagon, the CIA and the National Security Agency with E-class machines. He had special access from the Ministry of Defense. nine0005

In those days, Kraft was far from thinking of taking over as CEO himself. He enjoyed visiting the old building in Piscataway, New Jersey, and other places the American government sent him to. He felt like an agent 007. Only instead of a Beretta, he had a tool case in his hands.

Everything changed after a government agency, whose name Chip never learned, ordered him to supply a prototype of the E.S. Quantum-3000. After a short trial period, the agency abandoned the car, recognizing it as not meeting the requirements. nine0005

An unheard-of scandal erupted. No one has returned a supercomputer yet. Not this one, at least, with speech control, which responded with a pleasant female voice provided by the program – female, because studies have shown that a female voice contributes to concentration and attracts a potential buyer more (even if this buyer is a secret agent).

However, the fact remained that the ES Quantum-3000 was returned, and it was Chip Kraft who was instructed by the company to figure out what was wrong. nine0005

Strangeness began from the moment he connected the supercomputer to the network. The voice of the computer has changed in an incomprehensible way – it has become masculine. Incredible! The true voice belonged to the actress, with whom they signed a special contract, since the timbre of her speech was considered the most suitable. The voice of the actress was recorded on tape, after which the audio signals were mixed, so that later the computer would use them to synthesize words, phrases and sentences.

Five years have passed since that day, but Chip Craft has not forgotten the first words given to him by the strangely transformed ES Quantum-3000. nine0005

“Hey buddy,” the machine said.

This was the second oddity. The computer was not programmed to communicate in such an informal style.

The third oddity was the question ES Quantum-3000 asked Chip. And this was not a reaction of the machine to an incorrectly formulated user task. The computer couldn’t ask spontaneous questions.

The question was not random. On the contrary, it was essentially very specific, but when spoken by the computer, it sounded like nonsense. nine0005

– Would you like to be rich? the machine said.

The new voice of the computer was so… soft, so soulful – at first Chip couldn’t even find what to answer. Following this, “ES Quantum-3000” asked to be called only “Friend”. Capitalized.

That’s when Chip finally realized that something was wrong with the computer. At the same time, he could not deny that the machine exhibited a level of logical thinking that was far ahead of the capabilities of the computer versions of artificial intelligence that existed at that time. Chip, hoping to find out more, decided to play along with the machine. nine0005

“OK,” he said. – Make me rich.

And “Friend” did. Not right away. He fulfilled his promise gradually, step by step inexorably approaching the goal.

First, “Friend” suggested that he bet on four in the daily illegal lottery. Chip, betting only two dollars, won almost ten thousand.

“Not bad,” Chip grunted. – Let’s do it again.

– The game is not worth the candle, – answered “Friend”.

– And if you spend ten thousand on the Saturday lottery? nine0005

– Small things.

– Almost ten million dollars jackpot.

– Which will be paid for twenty years. Much more money is needed to achieve our goals.

– For what purpose?

– Take over Excelsior Systems.

– This is impossible.

– First of all, start making a career.

– My current position suits me perfectly.

– I know how to make a bioelectronic microcrystal with 100% integration. nine0005

– Did you create a self-healing microchip?

– I am not. It was created by the Japanese in the Nishitsu Corporation. And I just hacked into their computer system and rewrote the specifications.

– This is industrial espionage!

– No, this is industrial counter-espionage. The Nishitsu version is based on an International Data Corporation prototype whose schematic was stolen by an infiltrated Japanese employee.

“Okay, let’s look at the diagrams,” Chip agreed.

“Friend” did not deceive. It was a real revolution in microcrystal technology, and within three months, Chip Kraft took over as vice president. What followed was a matter of technique. nine0005

In the bowels of the Excelsior there were cardinal changes. The main characters changed all the time, someone was removed from office, one even fell victim to an accident in an elevator. All these random events seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but three years later Chip Kraft was already president of Excelsior Systems. There was only one person on the way to the CEO’s office.

This man suddenly decided to buy back his shares and start his own company. The company quickly went bankrupt, and he again had to look for work. And the man who took his place was none other than Chip Kraft. nine0005

By then the company had been renamed; now it was called “Ex-el Sis. corp. The nineties came and the computer business was in decline.

One day a “Friend” said that they were cutting back.

– How many people should be fired? Chip asked.

– Every single one.

– But it’s impossible!

– We will recruit freelancers who will be paid upon performance of the contract. This way we will get rid of health insurance and payroll taxes. nine0005

– Sounds good. But what are we going to do with this building if we don’t have staff?

– For rent. We will build a new, more suitable building for ourselves.

– Where?

– In Harlem.

– In Harlem?! Who is building the administration building in Harlem?

– We’ll build in Harlem because it’s cheaper, because there are suitable building lots, and because we won’t be visible there.

– This is not the safest place. People just won’t go to work. nine0005

– Except you, no one will have to do this.

“I don’t want to work in Harlem,” Chip tried to protest.

Are you resigning, Chip?

– I am the CEO.

– Apparently, this should be interpreted as a negative answer.

Seeing the new building of Ex-el Sis for the first time. Corp., Chip Craft for a moment even forgot that it huddled in the slums of Harlem. It was a majestic twenty-story building of blue-tinted glass and steel that dominated Malcolm X Boulevard, and when Chip entered the entrance hall, striking with the luxury of interiors, his last doubts disappeared. nine0005

Since then, the cases of Ex-el Sis. corp.” went up the hill. It was a new word in business: no permanent staff – only an army of various consultants and employees and specialists working under contracts.

The entire building was computerized and controlled by “Friend”, which – after the head “ES Quantum-3000” was installed on the thirteenth floor, surrounded by the best servers of “Ex-L” and other peripherals – could be contacted from any corner building.

Such an unconventional concept of management required new terminology for its description. nine0005

“Ex-l Sis. corp.” called the first virtual corporation. Legally, it really was listed as a corporation, taking advantage of all the benefits that this status provided. At the same time, the company functioned as an independent association of free artists, attracting high-class professionals for cooperation – some on a permanent basis, some on a temporary basis – either working at home or having their own small production facilities.

Free early education for 2 year olds

If you’ve been unable to find a childcare place, the Family Information Service may be able to help. 

Will there be any additional costs?

Your 15 hours of early education is completely free.

• No charge for enrolling your child
• No fees

A refundable deposit may be charged to secure your place.

However if you want your child to attend more than 15 hours per week you can pay for extra hours at some providers.

How long does a funded two year old place last?

Until your child reaches the term after their third birthday when they become eligible for universal free nursery education for 3 and 4 year olds. 

Does my child need to take all the hours to start with?

No, you can begin by taking a few hours each week and build up the amount of hours, to no more than 15 a week, if the childcare provider is able to accommodate. However, you will need to stick to the same number of hours each week over one term.

Can my child have a place all year round?

This depends on the provider. Some may offer you the option to ‘stretch’ your child’s free hours over more than 38 weeks i.e. fewer hours over more weeks. Talk to your provider about this.

What if my finances change?

Once eligibility has been confirmed, your child will remain eligible for the funding until the term after they turn three.

Do I need to print the Two Year Old Funding voucher?

No, the childcare provider simply needs to know your reference number. 

I believe that I am eligible for the funding but the system says that I have been unsuccessful. What can I do?

If you have recently begun claiming an eligible benefit, it sometimes takes a little while for the system to update. You can submit an application again but do not re-apply once you have received a code.

What happens if my child does not attend the childcare provider?

You should let the provider know of non-attendance. If attendance is irregular without any valid reason, you will be supported in the first instance but if the place is not being reasonably fully used then it may be offered to someone else.

Can my child attend a childcare provider outside Oxfordshire?

Yes. However as we can only fund providers in Oxfordshire you would need to apply to the relevant council.

Can I split the funding between two settings?

You may split it if providers agree although it is generally better for a child if they attend just one setting.  Schools and academies nurseries would expect a child to attend for the full 15 hours.

What is a Zambrano carer?

In this context, a Zambrano Carer is the primary carer of a British citizen child or dependent adult where requiring the primary carer to leave the UK would force that British citizen to leave the European Economic Area (EEA).

Although Zambrano Carers have no recourse to public funds, they are allowed to work in order to facilitate the primary care of the child or dependent.

Apply for free education and childcare for 2-year-olds

The Government wants every child to get the best start in life and believe that maximising a child’s development at an early age is essential in improving educational standards in later life. In Halton all eligible two year olds will have access to their fifteen hours a week of Two Year Old Free Entitlement through a range of high quality early years providers, which include pre-schools, day nurseries and some eligible childminders.

All providers who offer the entitlement work towards the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, which was introduced in September 2008 to ensure schools and early years providers follow a structure of care, learning and development for children from birth to five years old.

The EYFS sets the standard of care, learning and development that young children should experience when they are attending a setting outside their family home.

Below are some frequently asked questions about the Two Year old Free Entitlement:

What is Two Year Old Free Entitlement?

Eligible two year olds are entitled to a free part time early learning and care place.

Who is eligible for two year old free entitlement?

A two year old is eligible if they are:

• ‘Looked After’ (LAC) by their Local Authority: ‘Children who are provided with accommodation by a Local Authority for more than 24 hours on a voluntary basis or who are under a Care Order. The child may be living with foster carers, in a residential home or with parents or other relatives. A child who is ‘looked after’ is defined in Section 22 of the Children Act 1989’.
• A child who has left care through special guardianship or through adoption.
• A child who receives Disability Living Allowance (DLA)

A two year old child whose family receives one of the following are also eligible:

• Income support
• Income based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA)
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Universal Credit – £15,400 household income (does not included any benefit received)
• Support through Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act
• The Guaranteed Element of State Pension Credit
• The Working Tax Credit 4-week run (the payment you get when you stop qualifying for WorkingTax Credit)
• A child who is on receipt of a qualifying benefit in their own right
• An annual income not exceeding £16,190. ​

If you’re a non-EEA citizen who cannot claim benefits

Your 2-year-old may get free childcare if you are getting
support under the Immigration and Asylum Act and have either:

• 
  claimed asylum in the UK and are waiting for a decision (known as ‘part 6’)
• been refused asylum in the UK (known as ‘section 4’)

A 2-year-old you care for may also get free childcare if your household income is £15,400 a year or less after tax, and you have either:

• leave to remain with ‘no recourse to public funds’ on
  family or private life grounds
• the right to live in the UK because you’re the main carer of a British citizen (known as a
  ‘Zambrano Carer’)​​

If you would like to apply for the 2 year old funding please fill in

References

A reference is someone who can answer questions about your work history, skills, abilities, and work style. Choose your references with care. What they say can make a big difference. Remember to send them a thank you note when you know they have given you a recommendation.

What types of references are important?

There are four types of references. References from past employers carry the most weight.

• 
  Employment references include past employers, co-workers, subordinates, or clients. They can speak about your specific employment experience. You can also list people for whom you perform volunteer activities, babysitting, lawn mowing, and other odd jobs.
• 
  Professional references are people who know you on a professional basis. They may include contacts from business and sales, clubs, or professional or community organizations.
• 
  Academic references are instructors and vocational counselors. They can speak about your academic activities. These are most appropriate for current students or recent graduates.
• 
  Personal references are people who know you personally and can describe your skills. Only use this type of reference if you do not have the other types. Use the names of people who can tell an employer you can be depended on to do a good job.

How do you choose people?

• Select people who honestly know you and will speak objectively.
• Avoid using family members or close friends as references.
• Avoid references that may be controversial or may concern the employer. This includes clergy, counselors, or social workers, less they are relevant to the job.
• Someone who is influential in the community or business may be an effective reference, if they can speak about you related to employment.

How can you prepare a reference for the employer’s contact?

w3.org/1999/xhtml”>Contact the person to ask if they are willing to be your reference, before you give their name to a potential employer.

• Find out how the reference would prefer to be contacted.
• Get permission to give out his or her contact information: name and phone number or e-mail address.
• Find out the best times to reach her or him.
• Discuss your job search goals and the specific employers who may be calling. Many references prefer to see the job description and your resume so they can answer specific questions.

An employer may also ask for your reference’s occupation, how long you’ve known each other, and the nature of your relationship.

What other documents might help?

At an interview, bring copies of letters of recommendation from former employers, and past performance evaluations in case the employer is interested.

What are references? Who should I ask to be a reference?

Skip Breadcrumb Links

• Employment
• Find a Job
• Applying for a Job

References are people who can talk about your work experience, work habits, character and skills. You should choose your references carefully.

As part of the job search process, you may be asked to provide the names of people whom a potential employer can contact to find out more about you. It is a good idea to choose people who can speak or write favourably about you and your work. This will improve your chances of getting the job.

Providing appropriate local references can be a challenge for newcomers. If you don’t have work experience in Canada, you may have difficulty providing this type of reference. Similarly, if your recent work is unrelated to the type of job you are looking for, your references may not be able to speak to the skills needed for the position.

Who would be a good reference?

Work References

Many employers prefer work references. If your work references are all from another country, you might include at least one on your list as long as they are comfortable to speak in English, are accessible through email or Skype, and have some understanding of the position you are applying for.

If possible, you should choose someone who has supervised you professionally or who has worked closely with you. A manager, supervisor or even a co-worker from a casual job may be able to speak to your work habits or transferable skills (the skills that you can take from one job to another). They can say, for example, that you are reliable, friendly, organized, and a good problem solver. Other references could include someone who is aware of your work habits or skills through your volunteer or community work.

Academic References

Academic references are also acceptable and may even be preferable, depending on the situation. If you have been to school recently in Canada, consider asking your teacher to be a reference for you, particularly if you think they can speak positively about your skills and character.

Character References

Character references can substitute for work references if there are no other alternatives. They can be friends, a landlord, clients or anyone who can speak to your good personal qualities such as your honesty, dependability, good nature, etc. If they have firsthand knowledge of your work skills, that is even more useful. Close relatives are not generally acceptable references and neither are people who do not know you well.

You may not want to include references from areas of your life you prefer to keep private or that may conflict with your interviewer’s values. For example, personal counsellors, therapists, religious leaders or leaders of political or military parties in your home country may not always be appropriate references.

How can I develop new references?

If you still do not have enough references, you may want to consider taking a course in your field of interest. If you participate in class and make a good impression, the teacher or other program staff may be willing to act as a reference for you. Volunteering is also a good way to develop references. However, some organizations do not provide references for volunteers, so it is a good idea to check what the policy is.

Once you have good references, you should try to keep in touch with them frequently. Let them know how your job search is going and thank them for their efforts.

Preparing your references

You should ask someone if they will be a reference for you before you give their name to a potential employer. If they agree, let them know what job you are applying for, how you are qualified, and give them a copy of your résumé. For academic references, it can be useful to remind teachers about your projects or grades.

When should I provide a reference?

Most people write on their résumé “References Available Upon Request” and don’t include names. If you have been asked to bring references to an interview, take them on a separate sheet of paper and indicate if they are work, character, or academic references. If references are required after the interview, let them know that you will email this list to them. Emailing allows you time to choose your references based on the information you now have about the position.

how to choose, what is the benefit – Live Typing Blog

Mobile apps for eCommerce today are as much a must-have as websites were 10 years ago. The number of mobile device users is only growing, as is the activity of using mobile applications. If you are still faced with the question of whether to make a mobile application for your project, read the article, which describes in detail why an eCommerce project needs a mobile application. nine0003

There are many recipes for your application to engage users more effectively, integrate better with other communication channels (websites, social networks), and ultimately bring more profit. Deep links are one of them.

What is a deep link?

So how is a deep link different from a normal one? A regular link that leads to a mobile application will send you to the main page of the application – if you have the application installed. If you don’t have the app, it will send you to the App Store or Google Play. Surely you have come across such people more than once. nine0003

Or better. Imagine you are developing an eCommerce app for a sock shop. You have launched a sale for Vegan Day (and Halloween at the same time) and advertise it on social networks. You want the client to click on the banner to get to the application, to that very pair of socks with a pumpkin, or to the description of that same promotion. iOS for the client or Android, it doesn’t matter. Whether the client has an application or not is also unimportant. The main thing is that he gets to this screen. And you want to know how many customers came and what kind of customers they were: where did they come from (from a banner or from Google), how long did they stay in the application and did they end up buying socks. nine0003

Well, deep linking can do all this.

Description in its simplest form

Deep links collect and transmit data about:

• views, clicks and installs;
• channels that bring in the most downloads and revenue;
• users who follow the links the most.

What else they can do and why they are needed:

• the simplest thing is to use them to direct the user from notifications directly to the desired application screen. In integration with services like Yandex AppMetrisa – also for setting up full-fledged campaigns for sending notifications and evaluating their effectiveness. All promotions, sales, newsletters become much more effective; nine0228
• you can create cross-channel campaigns by embedding deep links in other applications, in letters, in banners on websites or in SMS;
• deep links (that is, app screens) can be indexed by Google and appear in search results. This means that you can get to the application immediately from the search engine;
• If your app’s business area is offline (for example, you’re in retail, have promotions, or other relevant business scenarios), you can embed deep links in QR codes or Bluetooth beacons. You can direct the user who came to the store immediately to the screen of the desired promotion, thereby creating another attraction channel; nine0228
• you can collect statistics and track the effectiveness of various channels and analyze the behavior of customers within the application after the transition.

Here are some interesting examples of deep linking in leading eCommerce applications.

Case ILLE DE BEAUTE

We implemented deep links in one of our favorite projects — the ILLE DE BEAUTE mobile app.

Before deep linking, the app had a self-implemented Actions system. These mobile application modules could deliver the user to any part of the application when the client received a notification – it was for working with notifications that we originally implemented this system. Clicks from advertising banners delivered the client to the main page of the application. nine0003

We have seen that the statistics of visits is growing, as well as the volume of sales through the application. The store constantly had promotions and seasonal offers, and the customer wanted a banner on each page of the site that would send the customer to a screen with a product description in the application.

What goals did we have and what did we want together with the customer:

• links to products from the desktop and mobile site of ILE DE BEAUTE, which lead directly to the product in the application;
• links to promotions and collections; nine0228
• attract new users with mobile devices immediately to the application;
• bring the user to the desired screen by installing the application;
  see the effectiveness of various marketing channels and banner networks.

Ways of implementation

Our shortlist of ready-made services consisted of:

• Branch — one of the most advanced services for working with deep links. We studied it as a leader in its segment;
• Firebase is a super-system from Google, in which, in addition to a huge list of features, there is also work with deep links and search indexing; nine0228
• AppsFlyer is a system that was used to work with marketing campaigns and collect statistics in the application long before the idea of ​​introducing deep links.

In addition, there are other solutions, such as Adjust, Yozio, Deeplink, or open source solutions, but we did not touch on them in this article.

Also, we do not consider self-implementation – we will leave this to the discretion of your development team. There are enough examples on the web with all the details. The story will be approximately the same: in order to get the most important functions (redirection through the App Store / Google Play, implementation of links to two platforms, analytics), additional services will have to be created from scratch. nine0003

Service Comparison

Branch is probably the most feature rich deep linking service that can do just about everything.

Liked:

• wealth of features;
• quality and convenience;
• many examples, detailed use cases, a blog with useful articles.

In a word, the guys take their business very seriously and rightly consider themselves leaders in this market.

What I didn’t like:

• price. There are free plans, but they are for startups or not heavily loaded applications; nine0228
• narrow specialization. Since deep links are a feature of Branch (unlike Firebase or AppsFlyer), it can only do this, but it can do it well.

Bottom line: Branch is a great service if you want a lot from deep links and are willing to invest heavily in them, or if your application load is very low and you can use the free plan.

You probably know about Firebase. And if you don’t know, then be sure to look in his direction. This is a Google service for mobile app developers that has everything: hosting and databases, cloud services, testing and crash reports, AdWords setup, deep links, indexing and much, much more. nine0298

What we liked:

• everything is in one place — you can view analytics, set up deep links and, if necessary, use other services;
• complete documentation and instructions;
• user-friendly interface;
• Deep links, App indexing and analytics are included in Firebase for free and by default.

I didn’t like the fact that Firebase lacks some of the features that Branch and AppsFlyer provide (content preview, working with ad networks). nine0003

Summary: Firebase has proven to be the most versatile and complete service for deep linking, especially if you use other Firebase services.

This is a service that is primarily aimed at marketing campaigns and attracting users to the application. It was used to set up in-app ad campaigns, so we saw it as a logical platform for deep linking. AppsFlyer offers its own deep linking solution called OneLink. nine0003

We liked everything about AppsFlyer related to marketing campaigns in one way or another.

What I didn’t like:

interface and ease of use – it is clearly not up to par;
instability – sometimes it crashes, sometimes deep links just stop working, and you have to reinstall the application to restore.

Bottom line: AppsFlyer is good for linking deep linking to ads and marketing campaigns, but if you have a choice, it’s better to look towards other solutions. nine0003

Selection and configuration

As a result of comparing Branch, Firebase and AppsFlyer services, our choice initially settled on Firebase. We wanted to combine everything in one service:

• deep link service;
• notification settings service;
• collection of metrics and analysis of statistics;
• indexing setting;
• possibilities for integrations.

This solution would be free, easy to use and stable. This was our hypothesis at the beginning of implementation. We began to check step by step how best to achieve the business goals that we had before the start. nine0003

The client representative is used to setting up advertising campaigns in banner networks using the AppsFlyer service, so we decided not to touch this part, that is, everything related to lead generation and marketing campaigns. AppsFlyer knows how to do this, stores all the statistics and allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Only now we have configured AppsFlyer to use several types of deep links, both native and firebase-generated links.

AppsFlyer 9 Admin0003

To get the most out of notification settings, we used Yandex’s AppMetrica, which was already set up to collect analytics. It has a module that allows you to manage push-notifications campaigns and embed deep links into notifications. Notification-related deep linking functionality has been transferred to AppMetrica, and all statistics are stored there.

The same module for managing push notifications. The arrow points to the link sewn into the notification

And this is what the AppMetrica admin area looks like in general

Why did we end up using Firebase? To form deep links that guide the user through the installation of the application and to collect statistics of such transitions. The Firebase admin is the most convenient of all and the links it generates are the shortest and most readable.

Firebase Admin. You can see the click-through statistics for each link by clicking on it

At the same time, with the help of the server team, we left the possibility for deep links to work without third-party services. The IL DE BEAUTE site link contains identifiers that can be parsed by the action mechanism in the application and used to navigate to the desired screen. The only negative is that if the user does not have an application, he will simply go to the mobile version of the site. nine0003

Outcome

As a result, the business goals were achieved, albeit in several ways at the same time.
