New Article: Achievement in AfterSchool Programs
Posted by on May 14, 2007
LEARN HOW AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS MAKE TIME FOR ACHIEVEMENT
Learning doesn?t have to stop as soon as the dismissal bell rings at the end of the school day as the newest issue of SEDL Letter magazine shows. Afterschool programs offer families a great alternative to allowing children to entertain themselves after they get out of school, when they often just watch television at home or get into trouble due to a lack of supervision. Recent studies suggest that regular attendance in a good afterschool program can help improve student success and counter obesity. Afterschool programs also often provide tutoring, help strengthen achievement, and offer students enrichment opportunities they might not receive during the regular school day. In this issue you can read stories of afterschool and out-of-school programs across the country that offer children more than just a place to hang out after school is dismissed.
