• W294841289 abstract "period of time between the school bell and the factory whistle is the most vulnerable time for children. These are the hours when children are most likely to engage in at-risk behavior and are more vulnerable to the danger that still exists in too many neighborhoods and communities. -Vice President Gore One of our most urgent goals, nationally as well as locally, is to increase academic achievement in our children's reading and literacy skills. These objectives can be supported through the implementation of comprehensive after school programming, but many of the nation's children lack the kind of quality extended learning opportunities which promote critical thinking skills. The Community After School Tutoring Success Program (CASTSP) is designed to reach elementary school children (grades 1-5) who need academic remediation for deeper learning that should also result in higher grades. Environments characterized by poverty, crime, unemployment, and lack of equitable educational opportunities cause many children to feel their future is not within their control. The after school tutorial program described in this article was established because we believe that every school age student has the right to a high quality education. We also believe community support should be available for all parents and guardians who would like to participate in their child's learning experiences. Access to such programs, however, is often financially unattainable by those who would benefit most. Approximately 30 million children have parents who work outside the home (Austin, G. & Bickel, A, 1994). Often, their income does not allow affordable, extended educational opportunities. As a result of limited exposure to academic extracurricular activities, school age children are more likely to receive poor grades, drop out of school, become teen parents and engage in other high-risk behaviors (Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, 1994; Gore, 2000). Involvement in after school programs can enhance the academic achievement of children (Funkhouser, J., et al, 1995; Marquette University, 1997; Miller, B. M., 1995). The promotion of higher standards of learning and expectation is often encouraged in after school tutorial programs. In fact, studies have shown that students who participate in supervised after school programs spend more time in academic activities, and show higher achievement in mathematics, reading comprehension and other academic areas (McLennan Youth Collaboration, Inc., 1997). The following article describes our program and shares some of the successful experiences we have had recruiting educators and community volunteers to work with children in need of academic support and with their families. Program Description The elementary tutorial program is a free, after school program which began in 1996. Our purpose was not to become a test or research site. We rely on test results and grades from the local schools as a starting point to work on the children's areas of deficiency. We then use a holistic approach to teaching and learning in order to meet the educational, recreational, nutritional and social aspect of students' personal growth. The initial program was housed in a conference room donated by a local community center. The co-founders and a volunteer teacher dedicated two nights per week, two hours each night to tutor approximately 30 students. The program welcomes both students in need of formal tutorial services and those who want walk-in homework assistance. Older siblings in middle and high school, who are often afternoon caretakers of their elementary-aged brothers and sisters, also may receive tutorial services in language arts and mathematics. Several older siblings have even become volunteer peer tutors. The tutorial program provides individual and small group remediation sessions. Groups will vary according to the availability of staff, volunteers, and participants. …" @default.
