The growing number of high-risk, culturally deprived students, without adequate pre-college instruction, have little chance of academic success. Spartanburg Junior College, South Carolina, studied several summer preparatory programs and found that they (1) assumed all students started from and arrived at a certain same point in their educational development and (2) did not provide the extra motivation so needed by these easily-discouraged students. Spartanburg developed a preparatory program...

The closing days of the school year typically bring with them an insane pace of year-end meetings, elections, installations, and well-deserved celebrations. Exhausting, right? Yet, at the same time, PTAs also begin to build the framework for the organizational work of the incoming PTA board and the next school year. A critical part of the early organizational planning work involves appointing chairs and committees and transitioning the work from outgoing to incoming volunteers. Another...

This paper argues the utility and necessity of debate evidence handbooks as part of high school summer workshops. First, debate evidence handbooks are useful because of the restrictive time element factor in summer workshops. The large number of debate resolutions and their interpretations contained in debate evidence handbooks frees the director of summer workshops from spending vast amounts of time in collecting debate evidence. Second, debate evidence handbooks supplement the library...

This paper deals with a tragedy in the field of human services. The tragedy lies in the fact that a program with a fair modicum of success will not be continued because the decision-makers in the state government concerned with this area decided with insufficient justification to end this program after the summer of 1968. Six hundred boys, nine to 14 years of age, from the poverty ghettos of Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, and Stamford, Connecticut, were served during that summer in a...

Summer vacation from school can bring afternoons at the swimming pool, family vacations, and maybe a spirit-filled summer camp that ignites a passion for art or rock climbing. But for many children, summer also means setbacks in learning that take a tremendous toll on teaching and student performance over time.

Fortunately, a wide variety of research ranging from quantitative studies and polls to qualitative reports and field observations has corroborated the need for afterschool enrichment.
