Expanded learning: A thought piece about terminology, typology, and transformation
by Gil G. Noam and Bailey Triggs
August 17, 2018
This piece, published in Vol 6, Nr. 2 of the International Journal for Research on Extended Education, explores what truly defines “afterschool,” and makes the case for the use of “expanded learning” or “expanded opportunities” as the terms that most clearly describe this critical time of youth learning and development.
Out-of-school time and youth development: Measuring social-emotional development to inform program practice
by Gil G. Noam and Bailey Triggs
February 27, 2018
This article, published in the first issue of the International Journal for Research on Extended Education, focuses on how we can measure the impact out-of-school time (OST) programs have on youth development outcomes and how we can use those outcomes to better inform OST programming in a way that will benefit the youth the program is currently serving.
