Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, students who failed to demonstrate proficiency on state assessments were identified and targeted in order to receive interventions to assist in increasing their academic achievement. For many students, time during the regular school day simply could not be provided for the attention or time on-task necessary to meet their needs. As a result, many school districts and schools implemented after-school and tutoring programs to target those students who failed to demonstrate proficiency. Louisville Municipal School District (LMSD) operated an after-school program to help increase the academic achievement of 5th through 8th grade students in reading/language and mathematics on the MCT2. The purpose of this study was to (a) explore the impact the after-school program's strategic components (leadership, activities, and partnerships) had on student achievement, and (b) determine if the after-school program had a positive effect on academic outcomes in the areas of reading/language and mathematics. A mixed method research design was used to conduct the study. A narrative approach was used to provide a response to the first research question. The Chi-squared test of independence was used as the primary means of analysis for the second and third research questions to determine if relationship existed between participation in the after-school program and academic achievement. The results from the research study show that strategic components of an after-school program had a positive impact on student achievement. Emerging themes were identified for each strategic component: leadership, activities, and partnerships. Participation in the after-school program proved to be a good predictor of student achievement on MCT2, with statistically significant Chi-squared results for reading/language. The recommendations for future research are as follows: (a) further research to improve reading/language and mathematics skills among the nation's students, (b) longitudinal studies to determine long term effects on students attending after-school programs multiple years, (c) study of effects of after-school programs on other grade levels, and (d) including outcomes of other variables such as after-school participation on school attendance, behavior, and classroom grades.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Great Recession, which began in 2008, many school districts had to make significant cuts to their operating budgets. Some of these cuts such as eliminating after school programs, extracurricular activities, and summer school made it challenging for school districts to close the achievement gap. As the economy began to recover, the California Local Control Funding Formula was implemented to direct more funds into school districts with a large population of students with special needs and at-risk of failing academically. These additional funds which are budgeted as per the Local Control Accountability Plan require school districts to be held accountable for student achievement and progress. Implementing an after school program is one strategy for meeting the needs of at-risk students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an after school Instructional Advisory Program on the academic achievement of at-risk middle school students. The sample consisted of 25 seventh and eighth-grade students with an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or below prior to participation. A paired sample t-test was used to determine if there was a significant change in overall GPA after one year of participation. The statistical significance was set at .05. The mean overall GPA after participation was significantly higher than the mean overall GPA prior to participation. The results of the statistical analysis suggest that participation in an after school Instructional Advisory Program may have a positive effect on the overall GPA of at-risk middle school students.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many school districts are using research-based strategies to increase student achievement. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was created and implemented to assist all students becoming proficient in reading and mathematics by 2014. One strategy many school districts implemented includes an after-school program. One school district in Mississippi operated an after-school program to help increase the academic achievement of 7th and 8th grade students scoring minimal and basic on the MCT2. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of regular participation in an after-school program on indicators of student academic achievement. The dependent variables for this study consisted of (a) math grade point averages, (b) reading grade point averages, (c) language arts grade point averages, (d) MCT2 math scores, (e) MCT2 language arts scores, (f) number of absences, and (g) number of discipline referrals. The independent variable for this study was program participation, which had two levels. One level was program attendance for at least 40 days and the other level was program attendance for less than 40 days. In this study, 7 hypotheses were tested by comparing the measures of the dependent variables for the two levels of the dependent variables. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the 7 hypotheses. The results of the ANCOVAs failed to detect any statistically significant differences in the dependent variables between the students who attended the after-school program for at least 40 days and students who did not attend the after-school program for 40 days. However, there were differences in the measures between the two groups. Not only did the regular attendees have lower averages in absenteeism and discipline referrals, they also had higher averages in mathematics (both GPA and MCT2), reading GPA, and language arts GPA. The only measure where the non-regular attendees demonstrated better performance was on the language arts MCT2. The recommendations for future research are as follows: implementation of adequate professional development for after-school program teachers, a research based reading program to assess student achievement, and a longitudinal study on after-school programs.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative study was to determine if there is a difference in academic achievement between first-, second-, and third-grade students who attended a 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school program and first-, second-, and third-grade students who did not attend a 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school program. There is limited research investigating the effect of after-school programs on the academic achievement of students from rural school settings. Offering quality after-school programs in rural communities is important to meet the needs of students and families and promote positive academic and social outcomes. The sample (N=1062) included first-, second-, and third-grade students who attended a 21st Century Community Learning Center funded after-school program and first-, second-, and third-grade students who did not attend an after-school program. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to compare student performance on STAR reading and STAR math benchmark assessments. There was no significant difference in STAR reading scores and STAR math scores between first-, second-, or third-graders who participated in a 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school program and those who did not. Recommendations for future research include using a random sample from a larger population, a longitudinal study comparing participants and non-participants over multiple years, and a mixed methods study analyzing participation, academic achievement, and staff training and experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State and federal governments have provided funding over the last 30 years to support several educational reforms that include lower class sizes, higher academic standards, peer coaching programs, and several academic intervention programs. One intervention is the 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) after school program. The after school program that was selected for this study provided students 1 hour per day, 4 days per week of academic intervention and tutoring in mathematics and English language arts (ELA) for 36 weeks (180 school days). The purpose of this study was to determine if fifth-grade students who participated in an after school program experienced an increase in mathematics achievement before they transitioned from elementary school into middle school. Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) mathematics assessment scores of fifth-grade students who participated in the 21st CCLC after school program and fifth-grade students who did not participate in the 21st CCLC after school program were collected and compared. An ANCOVA was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the students who participated in the program did not significantly outperform the non-participant students.
