School Age Curricular Framework
Our school age program follows the School Age Curricular Framework (SACF). A school-age curriculum is a combination of what staff teach (goals and objectives), how they teach it (daily routines and activities), and the context in which the learning will take place (human interactions, child choice activities, group experience, outdoor play, and so on). The following content areas have been determined by the Wisconsin Afterschool Network (WAN) to be the framework for which school age programs should be exposed to. These complement the core subjects that children learn in school.
Language, Literacy, and Numeracy – Language and Literacy include reading, writing, speaking, gathering information, using information, thinking critically, understanding other, and expressing oneself. Numeracy is reasoning with numbers and other mathematical concepts. Aspects of numeracy include number sense, operation sense, computation, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics. Efforts to embed this content across the content areas should be made in school age programs.
Arts and Culture – dance, theatre, music, visual arts, other types of creative expression
Global Learning – collaboration and communication with diverse audiences, investigate the world, translate ideas into actions to improve global conditions
Health and Wellness – nurturing of competent, caring and responsible children and youth and promotion of healthy living and well-being
Media and Technology – exploration of appropriate use of media, building and strengthening children’s ability to make good choices in their daily use of media and technology
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education (STEM) - increase STEM access and opportunities
Social Emotional Development/Character Education – integrate character education and social emotional development to reinforce core ethical values of respect, responsibility and citizenship
Environmental Learning – increase knowledge and awareness about the environment and associated challenges to foster attitudes, motivation, and commitments
Service Learning – instructional approach to increase knowledge and skills while making positive contributions to the world
