About This Title
"Exemplifies good teaching that might occur anywhere—not just after school. The author presents sound educational endeavors that respond sensitively and inventively to children's interests, needs, and predilections but extend their knowledge, skills, and understanding into new domains."
—From the Foreword by Glynda A. Hull
"Tackles the issue of the place of afterschool programs in raising student achievement and warns that it is unwise to solely create another layer of school. Afterschool programs also have to have an element of FUN."
—Paul Young, Executive Director
West After School Center, Inc.
