This study tests the long-term effectiveness of an innovative classroom animation program, Classroom Animation Studio (CAS) in 20 of the 77 Los Angeles Unified School District middle schools. Bandura's (1977) Social Learning Theory provides the primary theoretical foundation for the CAS, while the youth development model based on Emmy Werner's research on resilience provides the integrated framework for program activities.
