Spring 2017 Afterschool Matters Journal focuses on key OST issues
October 10, 2017
"As a new administration sets out its priorities for the next four years, it’s time to take stock of the role of out-of-school time (OST) programming in the larger ecosystem of healthy child and youth development," Georgia Hall, Ph.D., managing editor of Afterschool Matters, writes in her column in the Spring 2017 issue. "What value does OST add in fulfilling our local, state, and national goals? No matter what priorities might be imposed from outside the field, those of us who live and breathe OST know that our contribution goes far beyond better grades and test scores."
