			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.californiaafterschool.org/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-176" title="The California After School Resource Center" src="http://www.camillediaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/h_logo.gif" alt="The California After School Resource Center" width="190" height="120" /></a>Administered for the California Department of Education “the California After School Resource Center (CASRC, “cas-rac”) provides access to a comprehensive set of reviewed materials, resources, trainings, tools, and supportive services for after school programs.”  Before a resource is added to the CASRC Library it is reviewed by the CASRC Materials Review Board for school appropriateness, research-based features and alignment to standards.</p>
<p>On their website <a title="Visit the CASRC website." href="http://www.californiaafterschool.org/" target="_blank">www.californiaafterschool.org</a> you can browse the 12 topics in their Resource Library or perform a search if you are looking for something specific.  Topics include mathematics, reading/language arts and physical activity as you would expect, but also behavior management, nutrition, program administration, youth development, and more. You can also request a copy of their catalog (published annually).</p>
<p>Once <a title="Register with CASRC to create your loan list." href="https://www.californiaafterschool.org/c/@2bYy6BmLc_4FQ/Pages/regform.html?" target="_blank">registered</a>, you can add any item from their collection to your loan list and it will be shipped to you (anywhere in California), free of charge, on the date you requested (pending availability).  You can use the materials for up to four weeks and then you ship them back.</p>
<p>This is such an easy way to get quality reviewed materials to use in your afterschool program for just the cost of one-way shipping.  Check out the website and start checking out materials.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>My afterschool curriculum which I publish on my website <a title="Visit Curricubits.com" href="http://www.curricubits.com" target="_blank">Curricubits</a> was recently reviewed by CASRC and added to the Resource Library.  The Oceans, Geology, and Family themes are <a title="Check out Curricubits materials from the CASRC Library." href="http://www.californiaafterschool.org/c/@2bYy6BmLc_4FQ/Pages/product.html?nocache@36+record@R8052" target="_blank">available for checkout</a>.</p>
