Complementary Learning - FINE
http://www.gse.harvard.edu/~hfrp/projects/complementary-learning.html
The focus on the achievement gap and growing national debate about No Child Left Behind policy, results, and reauthorization have ignited the recognition that our schools alone cannot fully meet the learning needs of our children. Consequently, we see an increasing willingness at all levels—national, state, and local—to consider the types of nonschool supports and opportunities that can both complement learning in schools and collectively result in better developmental outcomes.
