Abstract	The national demonstration of ExpandED Schools, The After-School Corporation's (TASC) expanded learning model, was launched in 2011-12 in New York City, Baltimore, and New Orleans. The ExpandED Schools demonstration is being evaluated by Policy Studies Associates (PSA) and is rolling out at a time when there is heightened awareness among educators, researchers, and youth development experts about the importance of cultivating certain attitudes and dispositions in students that are precursors to academic performance. Reflecting this interest, this brief examines the ways in which ExpandED Schools contribute to the development of essential academic mindsets that support student learning and success. The findings in this brief draw on data collected by PSA researchers through observations, interviews, and a survey administered to students in each of the 11 national demonstration schools in spring 2013. The first section reviews research evidence of the relationship between academic mindsets and student performance as well as the potential for interventions to impact these mindsets. The second section describes how learning opportunities offered in ExpandED Schools enhance mindsets and lay the foundation for success. The brief presents evidence that by working together strategically and collaboratively, schools and community partner organizations can create a positive environment that enables students to take control of their own learning and gain confidence in their ability to succeed.
