Peterson, Valley Stream Central School District, NY Maria Grace Miceli-Pariti, Valley Stream Central School District, NY ABSTRACT This field-based study examined a multifaceted and multisystemic after school homework program intervention for at risk middle school students transitioning to high school. The program was developed and implemented by university and school-based personnel and incorporated evidence-supported strategies (i.e., peer tutoring, parent involvement, and collaborations between school districts and universities). Multiple measures were used to assess its effectiveness. This after school intervention has promise as a model to improve homework behavior and academic outcomes for at risk students.
