YES, STUDENTS CAN LEARN AND SUCCEED IN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS! ELEVATE!'S DETAILED CURRICULUM SHOWS YOU THE WAY.
All children are gifted, capable of learning, and capable of succeeding academically and socially. After-school program practitioners simply need to be equipped with the proper tools to facilitate their students' learning and success. ELEVATE: An After-School Enrichment Curriculum for Fostering Children's Academic, Social, and Emotional Resilience provides those tools, guiding educators through ELEVATE!'s comprehensive after-school curriculum built upon a rich legacy of cultural stories and solid, evidence-based academic research. In addition to a focus on cultivating academic resilience, the ELEVATE! lesson plans address students' social development, providing teachers a road map to engage children's feelings and teach them how to lift themselves and each other up.
This resource supports the creation of an after school program that inspires children to explore the world. The text includes the framework, evidence based curriculum, as well as units and the resources required to develop the program from start to finish including parent engagement, lesson or activity plans and lists of materials or resources which would be helpful to add. As a teacher, I would definitely consider purchasing this program so that I could follow this guide and easily create an after school program that will be beneficial to my students. I would highly recommend this to teachers, school leaders and community liaison workers who are responsible for creating or facilitating programs. Thanks to NetGalley
