Links to Learning: Supporting Learning in Out-of-School Time Programs
© 2002, 13 minutes
$25.00

This video, aimed at practitioners and policy makers, delivers a simple, clear message about the unique role after-school programs play in supporting children's learning and development. Interviews with national researchers and community leaders make convincing arguments that high quality after-school programs can provide opportunities for learning that are broader than academics alone. The video illustrates a variety of programs that exemplify the skills outlined in The Basic Skills for the New Economy (Murnane and Levy). These skills, serving as a framework for promoting an experiential approach to learning, include:

Literacy and numeracy
Written and oral communication skills
Problem-solving and critical thinking skills
Knowledge of and comfort with technology
Ability to work with diverse groups of people
