Program Goals

Kent Community Success established goals and objectives that are used to frame the praxis and structure of programming during the duration of the Cohort 18 grant timeframe. Program goals and objectives particularly focused on student academic achievement, regular program attendance, family engagement, and community partnerships as follows: 

• Increase student academic achievement in reading and math, and developed social emotional learning 
  • Regular attendees’ progress in math and reading will exceed rates of similar students who do not participate in the 21st CCLC program. 
  • 80% of students who regularly attend program will improve their Tier or remain in Tier 1, as determined by the well-being and behavior data recorded by the school. 
• Increase sense of belonging and engagement for students in 21st CCLC program 
  • At least 10% of the total school population will regularly attend program. 
  • At least 60% of regular attendees will attend program for 60 days or more. 
  • Among regular attendees, data will not show differences in regular attendees or 60+ day attendees across race, ethnicity, or MLL groups. 
• Develop and strengthen family-school connections for 21st CCLC families 
  • Family events offered by the 21st CCLC program will reflect the interests of families captured and measured using surveys and community-based organizations. 
  • At least 75% of regular attendees will have a family member attend at least one family event. 
  • 95% of families who attend and participate in family events will rate the event positively on surveys. 
• Support collaboration and participation of students, families, and partners to help inform programmatic opportunities and developments. 
  • Program will demonstrate measurable improvement in relevant sections of the SELPQA each year, at each site; or maintain an average overall rating of over 4.0.  
  • Each 21st CCLC program site will add one partnership each year that reflects the population(s) served at each school.
