In The Quest for Mastery, Sam M. Intrator and Don Siegel
investigate an emerging trend: the growth of out-of-school
programmes dedicated to helping underserved youth develop the
personal qualities and capacities that will help them succeed in
school, college, and beyond. Intensive programmes from rowing to
youth radio, from lacrosse to studio art, aim to create
"communities of practice" that capture young people's interest and
support them as they strive to excel. Through richly detailed
accounts, the authors describe the unconventional ways these
programmes have evolved and articulate the formidable challenges
they face in operationalising their aspirations. By documenting the
powerful effect out-of-school programmes like these can have in
transforming lives, the authors show how young people can become
engaged in meaningful and productive learning experiences and
highlight the poignant contrast between what these students
experience inside and outside of school.
