An Evaluation Of An Afterschool Program In a Title 1 Elementary School

<p>In our modern global society, many families face the dilemma of balancing work and raising children. Before and after school programs have been established in many Title I elementary schools in an effort to address the problems facing our communities and educational system today, especially as related to minority students. These afterschool programs provide a safe and positive environment for students who may be struggling academically, emotionally, and mentally. This study evaluated one afterschool program in a Title I school, investigating stakeholder perceptions regarding the program’s contribution to student’s academic gains and other areas of need for holistic student success. The study found that a major area for program improvement included a social emotional learning curriculum that addresses comprehensive student needs and fosters whole student development and success. </p>
