Description - A Practical Guide to the Science and Practice of Afterschool Programming by Joseph L. Mahoney
Closing the gap between scientific research on afterschool
programming and the practices occurring in these settings is the
goal of this volume. Both sources of knowledge are critical to
developing the afterschool workforce?s ability to provide
high-quality programming. On the one hand, this means
afterschool staff should not work with young people until they have
been adequately prepared?which includes training in
evidence-based practices?and properly supervised. On the
other hand, it requires that scientists understand and study those
aspects of afterschool programming most relevant to the needs of
practitioners.
This volume includes perspectives from the afterschool workforce,
scientists who discuss the current research, and the practitioners
who know how afterschool programs operate in practice.
This is the 144th volume of New Directions for Youth
Development, the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series
dedicated to bringing together everyone concerned with helping
young people, including scholars, practitioners, and people from
different disciplines and professions.
