2026 MCEA Fall Conference

Targeted Services programs provide a powerful opportunity to support students' academic, social-emotional, and developmental growth outside of the traditional school day. In this session, participants will explore practical strategies for designing, implementing, and sustaining high-quality Targeted Services programming that engages students, families, schools, and community partners. Presenters will share successful approaches for identifying student needs, aligning programming with district goals, leveraging community resources, creating meaningful enrichment opportunities, and measuring program impact. Attendees will leave with actionable tools, examples, and ideas to strengthen their own programs and expand opportunities for student success beyond the classroom.
