(B) Training for parents regarding how to be the primary teacher for their children and full partners in the education of their children. (C) Parent literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency. (D) An age-appropriate education to prepare children for success in school and life experiences." Question: How specifically is "sufficient intensity in terms of hours" (number of contact hours per week) defined for the purposes of this "national definition," and where may I find that definition? Thank you in advance. *************************** Dana Eness, Assistant Director PRIME TIME FAMILY READING TIME Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities 938 Lafayette St., Ste. 300 New Orleans, LA 70113 1-800-909-7990 ext. 126 (504) 523-4352 ext. 126 FAX: 504-529-2358 eness@leh.org http://www.leh.org -----Original Message----- From: Jon Lee [mailto:jlee@famlit.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 6:31 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-FAMILY:1537] Clips and Cross Posts Good Morning all! From: Harvard Family Research Project mailto:hfrp_pubs@gse.harvard.edu (Thanks to Shani Yero for the tip) We are happy to announce that the new issue of "The Evaluation Exchange" is now available on our website. This issue's topic, evaluating out-of-school time, is particularly timely due to the recent release of the first-year evaluation report for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program and the administration's coincident proposal to decrease funding for the program by 40%. We asked eight experts from the field to comment on the implications of the first-year evaluation findings for a four-page special report. This issue also includes articles on what we know from existing research and evaluation about the results that are possible from out-of-school time programming, expert commentary on what the future out-of-school time research and evaluation agenda should look like, and information about hands-on research and evaluation tools and resources. The issue is available at: http://www.gse.harvard.edu/hfrp/eval/issue21/index.html We hope you find the issue of interest! Take care!
