Evaluation of PASE. Reframing Expectations of Afterschool Programs Initiative: In summer 2004, PASE commissioned a paper by Dr. Halpern to serve as a launching point for the project. In his paper, “Confronting the Big Lie: The Need to Reframe Expectations of Afterschool Programs,” Dr. Halpern examines the trend toward aligning afterschool programs with academic achievement, arguing the need to abandon this path and instead focus on developing expectations for afterschool programs based on the examination of the field as a “historically distinct child development institution” and as a “normative developmental support.” He argues, “afterschool programs are well-suited to providing the types and qualities of developmental experiences that other institutions (i.e. the schools and public play spaces) can no longer provide most low- and moderate-income children.”
Dollars & Sense: Building Financial Dreams: a financial literacy curriculum created by the Partnership for After School Education (PASE) for the 18-to-24 young adult. Funded by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, this three session curriculum and accompanying Young Adult Guide to Saving and Investing for Retirement is designed to provide 18-to-24 year olds with crucial information about the value of saving, especially for retirement, and enable them to create a more financially secure future for themselves and their families. Cultural Partnerships for Youth: A guide to implementing an inquiry-based learning framework to link at-risk middle school youth with exemplary arts organizations and afterschool arts education experiences. The guide outlines a twelve-week course of study designed for middle school programs that are dedicated to using the arts as a tool for educational and social/emotional development. The guide demonstrates how to link activities to ELA and Arts Learning standards. Youth Arts Career Guide: You don't have to be a rockstar to make a living in the arts!
