While acade- mic achievement is extremely impor- tant, other components that must also be considered include social development and prevention of risky behaviors. Together these components produce an all-inclusive picture of stu- dent success and emphasize the fact that student success outside of the classroom is a vital portion of student success inside the classroom. Studies show that after- school programs produce multiple benefits to youth’s personal, social and academic life, and play a critical role in this equation. A study by The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning released in 2007, found that regular participation in high-quality afterschool programs is linked to bet- ter standardized test scores. Equally compelling were the findings that regular participation is linked to sig- nificantly improved work habits, increased self- esteem, overall behavior and reduced behavior problems; thus facilitating academic growth. Numerous other reports reaffirm positive academ- ic outcomes for students partici- pating in high- quality after- school programs, including: • Better attitudes toward school. • Increased educational aspirations for the future. • Better performance in school as measured by achievement test scores and grades. (This finding includes those students at greatest risk of fail- ing.) • Increased school attendance. • Fewer disciplinary actions Quality afterschool programs provide safe, healthy, positive envi- working since before day- break Friday to restore power knocked out by recent storms. In eastern Tehama County, about 177 cus- tomers in Mineral and Mill Creek remained without power Friday afternoon, but PG&E crews expected to com- Karla Stroman ronments and enriching age appropriate activities. School-age children attending these programs build on what they have learned during the regular day through homework help and tutoring; explore further areas of skills and interests; engage in charac- ter education and preven- tion programs; and develop relationships with caring adults. Study after study confirms that these prac- tices embedded in after school programs are proven and effective ways to boost student achievement and set young people on the path to productive adulthood!
