Wide-Spread Belief:Children Need Organized Activities and
Places to Go
National PTA’s poll found that 70% of parents support increased federal funding for after-school programs.
![Page 11: 1 S.M.I.L.E.S. Beverley B. Fifer, Project Director Janie Samuel, Coordinator Vickie Warden, Teacher Students More Involved in Learning to Enhance Success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55159c1155034691418b5e4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Wide-Spread Belief
According to the 1999 Mott Foundation and
JC Penney survey of registered voters, 92% agreed that children should have an organized activity and a place to go
after school. By a three-to-one margin, Americans
agreed to pay more taxes to provide after-school care.

More than 90% of police chiefs surveyed said that investing in after-school programs now will result in paying far less later in terms of crime, welfare, and other costs.

Homework and Tutorial Assistance
Students spend a minimum of 45 minutes per day with guided academic activities
Certified teachers and instructional assistants provide small group and individualized tutoring
![Page 26: 1 S.M.I.L.E.S. Beverley B. Fifer, Project Director Janie Samuel, Coordinator Vickie Warden, Teacher Students More Involved in Learning to Enhance Success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55159c1155034691418b5e4a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Peer tutoring and cooperative learning are
also used.
Study time is held in regular classrooms, using many of the same instructional materials from the regular curriculum.
![Page 27: 1 S.M.I.L.E.S. Beverley B. Fifer, Project Director Janie Samuel, Coordinator Vickie Warden, Teacher Students More Involved in Learning to Enhance Success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55159c1155034691418b5e4a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Some instructional materials are secured specifically for the after-school program.
First Graders are practicing decoding with Sing, Spell, Read, and Write.
![Page 28: 1 S.M.I.L.E.S. Beverley B. Fifer, Project Director Janie Samuel, Coordinator Vickie Warden, Teacher Students More Involved in Learning to Enhance Success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/55159c1155034691418b5e4a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Strong linkages occur between the school-day and after-school personnel. Staff members develop shared plans and strategies for students’ success.
Daily planners are an excellent communication tool for keeping track of homework, upcoming projects and events, goal setting, task completion, and time management. Teachers and parents expect students to properly use the planners.
