Working with School-Age Children examines the role of adults in children’s lives outside of the classroom. It offers guidance as they interact with children during their out-of-school time, whether they are coaches, music teachers, afterschool program staff, or interest club leaders.
Building on a foundation of child development theory, this book explores the importance of quality and the characteristics of effective programs and individuals who can best meet children’s needs. Topics include strategies for adult involvement, healthy and productive activities, and guidelines for developing and sustaining afterschool programs. Available in Fall 2015 as an e-book.
