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: (1) Analyzes the concepts central to effective
after-school programs. (2) Offers developmental, cognitive, and
social ecology perspectives on how children learn. (3) 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. (4) Emphasizes young people's development as students and as
productive members of society during middle to late childhood and
early adolescence. (5) 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.
