This report, prepared by The After-School Corporation for Cornerstones for Kids, describes the findings from a study of a sample of 20 high-quality and less effective after-school programs in New York City.
Through statistical analysis of responses to surveys and interviews, the authors explored the organizational features – including hiring, supervision, compensation, and training – that contribute to strong and weaker program practices. A number of differences between more and less effective programs emerged from the study, which can offer guidance to program managers about staffing and other organizational practices.
