Presents the findings of a literature review intended to identify
and assess relevant issues concerning effective out-of-school-time
programs. Presents the findings of a broad-ranging literature
review intended to identify, frame, and assess relevant issues
concerning effective out-of-school-time (OST) programs. Drawing on
recent studies the authors identify and address the level of demand
for OST services, the effectiveness of offerings, what constitutes
quality in OST programs, how to encourage participation, and how to
build further community capacity. They make recommendations for
improving the information used in policy making.
Addressing the question: How does one spread out a successful
educational reform, the authors recount the scale-ups of a variety
of programs, describing the challenges they faced and the lessons
they drew from their experiences.
New American Schools, a private nonprofit corporation, was created
in 1991 to develop break-the-mold designs for schools serving
grades K-12. This report documents the significant changes in the
designs that have taken place over the initiative's life span and
the reasons for those changes. The designs changed in terms of
their educational components and theories. Finally, the design
teams developed implementation strategies and assistance packages
over time that resulted in the expansion of the design concept to
the concept of design-based assistance. Some of the changes made to
designs were beneficial in promoting the concept of a design-based
school, especially the development of stronger curriculum packages,
clearer descriptions of the designs, and significant work toward
assistance for schools to adopt designs. If this reform is to
succeed, policymakers must revitalize it by taking the current
environment into account and helping to make it more supportive.
Compares and contrasts nine designs for reforming America's public
schools.
