Beacons In Brief. P/PV In Brief. Issue 2

This second issue in P/PV's "In Brief" series focuses on the San Francisco Beacon Initiative and P/PV's recently released evaluation results. The Beacon Initiative established after-school programs in eight public schools in low-income San Francisco neighborhoods. P/PV's 36-month evaluation examined key developmental and academic outcomes. "Beacons In Brief" summarizes our findings and discusses their implications in the context of larger questions about the after-school field. (Contains 1 figure and 3 endnotes.) [For "Amachi In Brief.
