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 | $40.00 Order both Links to Learning videos: Supporting Learning in Out-of-School Time and Supporting Literacy in Out-of-School Time for one low price. © 2000, 15 minutes $15.00 This great video, and the accompanying implementation guide, demonstrate effective strategies for planning and designing quality space for out-of-school time programs. © 1998, 11 minutes $15.00 The Human Side of Quality portrays the importance of the relationships that children develop in out-of-school time programs.
