The Effectiveness of Out-Of-School-Time Strategies in Assisting Low-Achieving Students in Reading and Mathematics: A Research Synthesis

 
 
Product Description  Synthesis of research findings on effective out-of-school-time (OST) strategies to assist low-achieving students in reading and mathematics.
Authors  Patricia A. Lauer, Motoko Akiba, Stephanie B. Wilkerson, Helen S. Apthorp, David Snow, & Mya Martin-Glenn
Target Audience  Administrators, policymakers, and researchers
Ways to Use this Product  As a resource for understanding the effectiveness of specific OST strategies for low-achieving students
Key Ideas  
Research to date has painted a mixed picture of the effectiveness of out-of-school-time strategies (OST). To provide a closer examination of which OST strategies work and which do not, McREL researchers have analyzed all rigorous research conducted since 1984 on the impact of OST strategies in improving the reading and mathematics achievement of low-achieving or at-risk students.
