Links to Learning: Supporting Literacy in Out-of-School Time
© 2003, 12 minutes
$25.00

Our latest addition to the Links to Learning Video series highlights the multiple ways that afterschool practitioners can promote and incorporate Literacy into their program activities and curriculum.



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

The Human Side of Quality portrays the importance of the relationships that children develop in out-of-school time programs. The quality of programs is directly linked to the quality of the staff, and to their ability to support children's social and emotional health. In the video, program directors, trainers and advocates share their thoughts on how to build these important relationships. (11 min.)
