Practical Guide To The Science And Practice Of Afterschool Programming - New Directions For Youth Development, Number 144

29,14€ + 10% CARD

 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.
