| Abstract | This case study sought to provide a deeper understanding of after-school instructors’ characteristics and instructional practices. Examining one state-funded after-school program, the following overarching question anchored the research design: In what ways and to what extent do instructor qualities and practices in one elementary school’s state-funded after-school program align with key, research-based principles of effective after-school instruction? Findings suggested that misalignment within and across case levels manifested in numerous ways and seemed to pose some challenges for the people charged with engaging in instruction. Without the alignment of resources to stated goals and guidelines for purposefully activating those resources during instruction, it is likely that the resources were not maximized. In order to guide after-school programs toward providing students with effective learning opportunities, recommendations are collaborative goal setting, development of approaches, and utilization of resources to support alignment within and among all collaborating organizations, as well as ongoing assessment of progress in meeting established goals to help meet ever-changing student needs. Additional after-school research is needed to identify what happens in programs that accounts for those positive outcomes and how findings can be used to improve preexisting and developing programs and to ensure that youth receive the best possible opportunities for learning—namely, opportunities that allow for active, collaborative, and meaningful learning. |
