Academic Achievement: Negative Behavioral Incidents |
|
|
|
A study of the strongly
academic BGC, for example, did not find evidence of an impact on the
social and emotional outcomes measured. In
particular, the study found no difference in the number of negative
behavioral incidents between program, comparison, and control groups.
Although BGC did not directly target these outcomes, they might
have been affected because the program provides a safe space after school
with positive peers and caring adults who interact with participants
socially as well as academically and creatively.
Furthermore, theory and prior research indicate that programs which
produce positive academic outcomes are likely to be associated with, or to
lead to, positive social and emotional outcomes in the students they
serve.
