Current Issues in Out-of-School Time
About the Series
Current Issues in Out-of-School Time is a book series that shares original research, practitioner insights, and policy analysis on themes relevant to out-of-school time learning. Books are relevant for scholars, practitioners, funders, and policy makers, while centering youth agency and advancing theory, evidence, and practical wisdom in the field.
Each book includes empirical studies, conceptual essays, practitioner cases, and policy commentaries around a specific theme to bridge research, on-the-ground implementation, and public policy. Guiding principles focus on culture, diversity, equity, inclusion, youth voice, and the needs of the OST workforce.
Published books have traced the evolution of the OST sector, highlighted social and emotional learning, examined youth-adult partnerships, demonstrated data-use strategies for improvement, profiled grassroots changemakers, showcased workforce preparation, civic engagement, community-based arts, and critical analyses of structural inequities, primarily in the United States context.
