Engaging Students in Afterschool Learning

Since 1983, Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) has served as a national platform for forward-thinking perspectives on family and community engagement research, practices, policies, and strategies. Over the course of four weeks (mid-May through mid-June), HFRP will dedicate their summer 2015 issue of FINE Newsletter (Family Involvement Network of Educators) to exploring how, and in what ways, afterschool programs can effectively engage students. The issue will include featured articles with a focus on the research supporting positive engagement and on examples of promising practices from providers in the field.
