Expanding Learning, Enriching Learning: Portraits of Five Programs. Stories from the Field
Browne, Daniel; Syed, Sarosh; Mendels, Pamela
Wallace Foundation
These "Stories From the Field" describe five Wallace-funded programs working to expand learning and enrichment for disadvantaged children, so they can benefit from the types of opportunities their wealthier counterparts have access to, from homework help to swimming classes. The report details each program's approach, successes and challenges, offering a well-rounded picture of the effort nationally to expand learning opportunities for low-income children--and the work that remains.
