From: ASCD Smartbrief via the Harvard Education Letter Schools supplement curricula with after school programs The popularity of after school education has increased in recent years as growing evidence shows after school programs can have significant academic and social benefits. Good programs supplement material students learn in school with skills training and recreational activities.

Some teachers stand on desks to teach, while others show family videos to give students a chance to take a break from the lecture.
