Bouie argues that rather than identifying deficits and dysfunctions in the family, a more effective method would focus on strengths and build on the inherent resilience of the community. She describes the design and implementation of this collaboratively organized, community-based after-school enrichment program that worked. Her insights are a valuable tool for any educational or youth program interested in fostering lasting academic success. The book’s features include: testimonials from youth, staff, and parents who participated in a successful after-school program; indicators for effective and ineffective implementation based on a field-tested model; indicators to help motivate and enable students to put forth effort and try, in spite of having failed in the past; strategies to engage families and community members; and insights for policymakers and practitioners who may wish to start a program or assess an existing one.”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0807747459/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”59 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
