School activities alone are not always sufficient to ensure
children s academic progress or socio-emotional development and
well-being. And the time when many children typically have the
least adult supervision immediately after school is also the time
that they are at the highest risk to act as perpetrators or become
victims of antisocial behavior.
Throughout A Blueprint for Promoting Academic and Social
Competence in After-School Programs, which focuses on children in
grades 1 through 6, noted experts identify the best practices of
effective programs and pinpoint methods for enhancing school-based
skills and making them portable to home and neighborhood settings.
This volume:
- Analyzes the concepts central to effective after-school
programs.
- Offers developmental, cognitive, and social ecology
perspectives on how children learn.
- Features more than 100 exercises that develop young people s
capabilities for academic, social, moral, and emotional learning
These exercises are ready to use or can be adapted to students
unique needs.
- Emphasizes young people s development as students and as
productive members of society during middle to late childhood and
early adolescence.
- Presents explicit theory and evidence that can be used to
explain the value of after-school programs for budget
proposals.
This important book will find an appreciative, ready audience
among the program directors who design after-school curricula, the
educators who implement them, the mental health and social work
professionals who help staff them, and the current crop of graduate
students who will create the next generation of programs.
