  9. Lessons Learned • Setting up students and instructors for success during after school hours • Structure is essential for both instructors and students. • Change it up: Providing structure does not mean rote or monotonous lessons. Vary each afternoon to appeal to different learning styles, strengths, and interests. • Individual or small-group learning: Opportunities to work on their own or in small groups are better suited to the high energy levels and short attention spans of students during after school hours.
