Expanding equity in afterschool and summer learning: Lessons from school districts

Description:

Ensuring equity in the classroom has become a priority for many school districts in recent years. But how are they focusing on equity in their afterschool, summer, and other out-of-school-time (OST) programs as well? This brief summarizes findings from a team of University of Virginia researchers who studied how school districts strongly committed to educational equity approached equity in their OST efforts. The team set out to begin filling a knowledge gap: Although research on equity in the OST sector in general is growing, equity in OST programs provided by school systems in particular has received less attention. Learning more about equity in school-operated OST is important, the researchers say, because children and youth from historically marginalized backgrounds often attend the least resourced schools and have less access than others to high-quality OST.
