Rethinking the High School Experience: What's After-School Got to Do with It. Out-of-School Time Policy Commentary #10
Yohalem, Nicole; Wilson-Ahlstrom, Alicia; Pittman, Karen
Forum for Youth Investment
With high school reform now a front-burner issue, districts and communities cannot afford to have high school after-school on the back burner. In this commentary, we focus on how and why the high school reform and after-school movements need to be woven together to produce a solid system of learning opportunities and developmental supports designed to help all young people prepare for the future. (Contains 5 figures and 31 endnotes.)
