Themes of Discovery.

Bergstrom, Joan M.; O'Brien, Lisa A. – Educational Leadership, 2001
Built around such themes as nature, cooking, and community involvement, after-school programs help students make powerful connections and ask big questions. Theme-based programming is most successful when staff members listen, observe, and acknowledge experiences that excite and motivate the students. Kids also love clubhouses and pressrooms. (MLH)
