Enhancing School Reform Through Expanded Learning
Released by Learning Point Associates and CBASS, Enhancing School Reform Through Expanded Learning looks at the benefits of integrating expanded learning opportunities into overall school reform. Comprised of three papers and four case studies about different aspects of expanded learning, the report finds that well-designed expanded learning programs can improve school performance, increasing positive academic, developmental, and health outcomes.
The report is a call to action for education and after school leaders to work together in new ways to foster enhanced school reform through better integration with expanded learning opportunities.
