Download or read book Using Technology to Support Academic Achievement for At Risk Teens During Out of School Time Literature Review written by Georgia Hall and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review conducted by the National Institute on Out-of-School Time (NIOST) explores the use of technology to support academic achievement for at risk high school age youth during their out of school time. The task of this literature review was to sort through the many publications, research briefs, and observations in this arena, with a particular focus on at risk teens and the out of school hours, and to summarize the latest thinking on both the theory and practice of using technology to support academic achievement. This paper begins with a discussion of at-risk teens and a look at the literature related to academic achievement. The second section examines the literature on the use of technology as a support to academic achievement and the use of technology with at-risk youth. The third section explores the literature on out-of-school time programs, looking specifically at: (1) the use of technology in such programs; (2)out of school time program content as a support to academic achievement, and (3) the experiences of at risk teens in out of school time programs. By combining insights from these three domains, this paper will help to inform leaders in the out of school time program field, educators, policymakers, technology program designers, and other stakeholders as to what to consider when creating out of school time programs that use technology based learning activities to support academic achievement for at-risk teens.

Download or read book Adolescent Literacy Development in Out of School Time written by Elizabeth Birr Moje and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to requests from out-of-school time (OST) providers, the authors have created this practitioner's guidebook for integrating adolescent literacy development initiatives into a wide variety of OST programs. As readers will discover in subsequent chapters, the authors' definition of adolescent literacy development represents a multi-dimensional view of how middle and high school students process written and oral language. They define literacy broadly as the reading and writing of written texts, but they include listening, speaking and performing as important aspects of communication that help people make sense of written texts. More than ever, the out-of-school time movement in this country strives to engage young people in motivating and fun learning opportunities in the community, with increasing expectations to support participants' academic achievement. Afterschool and summer literacy programs come in all shapes and sizes, with varying goals and strategies for enhancing students' reading and writing abilities. Some programs may target the most struggling readers using pre-packaged curriculum and certified teachers to "extend" the school day. Other programs focus on youth development goals, such as community leadership or youth violence prevention, and integrate literate practices into the content of their enrichment activities. Still other OST programs may fall in the middle of this literacy development continuum, offering homework help and individualized tutoring to support academic learning, while providing cultural, social, or recreational activities. The strategies for addressing literacy in OST use a variety of approaches for boasting academic success. Depending on the literacy goals of the program, organizations may employ very different staffing, curriculum, materials and instructional methods. To help organize these approaches, this guidebook identifies four types of out-of-school programs that address literacy activities. Appended are: (1) A Critical Review of Out-of-School Programs for Adolescent Literacy Development; (2) Promising Programs; (3) Resources for Adolescent Literacy Development in OST; (4) Literacy Process Interview Protocol; and (5) Literacy Practices Interview.
