Our evaluation tools and civic indicators gauge our impact on student outcomes and the efficacy of our programs.
|
Our needs assessments identify their strengths and weaknesses in specific dispositions and outline initiatives that can contribute to improved outcomes. Formative assessments are built into our curriculum for students to complete in an effort to monitor their progress from one concept to the next. Our civic portfolio exhibits student academic and civic accomplishments to gather evidence of their knowledge, skills, and contributions to civic life. Schools and communities provide the student achievement and behavioral data for us to determine how effective our efforts are on accomplishing our longer-term goals of increasing student achievement, closing the achievement gap, and increasing student investment in their schools. We compile data from all our evaluation tools, along with voter turnout data, to examine the impact on local public education systems and increases in democratic accountability in those areas. |
