The Federal Role in Out-of-School Learning
March 19, 2009
Four decades of research demonstrate that it is necessary to redefine learning—both where and when it takes place—if the country is to achieve the goal of educating all of its children. This report from Harvard Family Research Project makes a research-based case for federal provision of out-of-school complementary learning supports, so that all students gain the skills necessary for success in the 21st century.
This report was commissioned by the Center on Education Policy and presented at a forum on Capitol Hill in November 2008.
