Objectives & Goals

Objective One

Participants in the program who are 30 day or more attendees will demonstrate increased academic achievement in reading and mathematics.

  • Performance Indicator 1a: Participants will show progress in reading and mathematics scores
  • Performance Indicator 1b: Participants would show improvement in academic achievement.

Indicators are (1) skill gains as documented through A+LS assessment, (2) report card grade gains in reading, and math, (3) time on skill tasks as gathered by A+LS management system, and (4) ultimately LEAP and other accountability scores for the 30 day attendees.

Objective Two

Participants in the program who are 30 day or more attendees will demonstrate improved homework completion and class participation in other subject areas such as technology, arts, music, theater, and sports.

  • Performance Indicator 2a: Students participating in the program will have a higher attendance rate and a change in their attitudes toward school.
  • Performance Indicator 2b: Students participating in the program will promote to next grade level.

Indicators are the attendance rate and promotion rate of 30 day attendees. Attitudes will be measured by student/parent/teacher surveys.

Objective Three

Participants in the program who are 30 day or more attendees will demonstrate positive behavioral changes.

  • Performance Indicator 3: Students participating in the program will show improvements in measures such as increase in attendance, decrease in disciplinary actions, less violence, and a decrease in other adverse behaviors.

Indicators are attendance records, student/parent/teacher surveys and school discipline records of 30 day attendees.

The goal of the center is to increase academic achievement in the local community school over the next three years so that OPE and BMS are no longer in SI 3/5 status.

Objective Four

The 21st CCLC program will provide services that benefit the entire community by including families of participants and collaborating with other agencies and non-profit organizations.

  • Performance Indicator 4: The centers will offer enrichment and other support services for families of participants.

Indicators are increased percentages of parents that rate the program “satisfactory”. Indicator for success: parent surveys/parent participation in events/council meetings and volunteering.

Discussion: During the program, parents will participate in all aspects of learning as evidenced by securing permission, release of information, orientation, opportunity for meetings/input, progress reports, discussion/explanation of assessment results and implications and by responding to invitations/involvement in family activities. Parents will receive resources to understand their child’s educational needs and the center’s purpose. The CCLC will communicate the district, school, and parents about the program and children’s progress (Johnson, 1993; Knight, 1999; Voltz, 1992).

Objective Five

The 21st CCLC projects will use the funding efficiently by coordinating and collaborating with other Federal and state funding sources, agencies and other community projects to supplement and not supplant funds, to eventually become self-sustaining.

  • Performance Indicator 5: FDDOC will provide a detailed sustainability plans.
