Abstract | Noting that various types of evaluations of after-school programming conducted over the last several years have provided useful information to providers and to policymakers, this report summarizes the lessons learned from independent evaluations of after-school programs. The following overall findings are supported with a delineation of findings from various independent evaluations: (1) after-school programs help students achieve in school; (2) after-school programs keep children safe; and (3) after-school programs help working parents. Additional detail is provided on the methodology and findings cited from several, more extensive evaluations of the following programs: (1) Los Angeles Better Education Students for Tomorrow; (2) New York City's Beacons Initiative; (3) California Afterschool Learning and Safe Neighborhoods Partnerships Program; (4) The After-School Corporation [New York City]; (5) Houston's After-School Achievement Program; (6) San Diego's "6 to 6" Extended School Day Program; (7) Ohio Urban School Initiative School Age Child Care Project; (8) YS-Care After School Program for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids; (9) Massachusetts After-School and Other Out-of-School Time Grant Programs; (10) the Foundations After-School Enrichment Program; and (11) the Extended-Service Schools Initiative. Findings from the MOST Initiative and the Extended-Service Schools Initiative are highlighted to illustrate barriers faced by after-school programs in obtaining adequate funding, issues related to physical space, involvement of the most disadvantaged children, and transportation availability. References are included within the text of the report. (KB) |
