On September 22–23, 2005, Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP), with support from the C. S. Mott Foundation, convened the After School Evaluation Symposium, with over 100 researchers, evaluators, policymakers, and practitioners in Washington, D.C. The goal of the 2-day meeting was to bring together the perspectives of diverse stakeholders to inspire new ideas and foster stronger links between research, practice, and policy. Participants discussed issues of access, quality, professional development, the role of evaluation research, and systems-building efforts. A major focus of the symposium was on creating “communities of practice” and turning knowledge into action.
