Type and Scope of services to be performed: The Wallace Foundation has awarded the Denver Afterschool Alliance within the Office of Children’s Affairs an implementation grant with a dollar amount of $1,040,175 for year one. This will be a four-year grant with a budget re-evaluation each year. Wallace's Partnerships for Social and Emotional Learning Initiative (PSELI) strategy is to foster children's social and emotional learning (SEL)-e.g. emotion management and social skills-through partnerships between school districts and out-of-school time intermediaries (OSTis) that enable leadership and staff in schools and OST programs to effectively align and improve their teaching and development of these skills. Using a continuous improvement approach, the partnerships will seek to align policies and practices in school and OST settings to create an overall environment-from classrooms and OST programs to hallways and playgrounds-that supports students' social and emotional development. As in all of its efforts, Wallace seeks to benefit both those it funds directly and the field as a whole by generating credible, useful knowledge. Toward that end, independent, credible research has been commissioned to develop practical knowledge about how these efforts can be carried out, the role of adult skills development, and the benefits to children. These insights will be broadly shared.
