Executive Summary

Overall Strengths and Next Steps

This was a unique school year. March 6, 2020 was the last day of the school year for in-person schooling at this site due to the coronavirus. The transition to At Home or distance learning was an unprecedented accomplishment. Activities were posted on google classroom, and virtual field trips were offered. Also, office hours were kept to provide homework help for students and to create activities for the distance learning. Staff made phone calls to all families to see if they had needs. Zoom meetings were held with students, and the staff maintained contact with school day staff, attending their PLC and grade level meetings. Because of the many changes, only the fall semester student data were entered into the TX21st data system statewide. There were two exceptions: 1) spring 21st CCLC student attendance through March 6, 2020 and 2) spring activities along with each activity’s attendance through March 6, 2020. Spring grades, school attendance, behavior referrals, and promotion rates were not entered. This report will reflect the student data that were available through the state system.

The Hargrave Elementary site demonstrated strengths in several areas. A variety of activities were provided for all components to help improve the academic performance, attendance, behavior, and promotion rates of students. Certified teachers worked with small groups of struggling students to provide tutoring, including a tutoring class for bilingual students. Specific activities were provided to support writing development, and writing was integrated into several activities including science activities. To support reading development, reading games and resources were purchased to help improve the students’ reading comprehension and vocabulary development. Also, the instructional coach incorporated Reading TEKS into the science activities and World Cultures. Math classes were structured this year so that the teachers could work with small groups of students on targeted math concepts and skills that were aligned with the school. While the teachers worked with the small groups, the other students participated in math games or worked on the computer using Prodigy, Dreambox, or Education.com math programs. Two local needs were identified and addressed with action plans: 1) to increase academic achievement in writing and 2) to increase academic achievement in reading. At the end of the fall semester, the site showed improvement from last year in the percentage of students passing all core subjects, the average percentage of days present, the average number of behavior referrals, and the percentage of students with no behavior referrals. Also on the student survey, the percentage of students that responded that the program helps them complete their homework increased this year from last year.

Recommendations:

· The Site Coordinator is commended for following up on last year’s recommendations.1) To improve students’ writing skills, Writing Club and tutoring was provided. Also, writing was incorporated into the science activities. 2) To increase academic achievement in reading, reading games and materials to improve reading comprehension and vocabulary were purchased. Ready Readers, homework help, and tutoring were provided along with integrating Reading TEKS into the science activities and World Culture. 3) To increase student choice, students were allowed to choose their activities on Fun Friday.

· Because in-person school ended early this year, continue to provide opportunities to improve students’ writing development. Closely review the beginning of the year student assessments to identify students with needs and to determine the TEKS to target. Provide opportunities for student/teacher writing conferences.

· Because in-person school ended abruptly this year, continue to provide support for reading achievement. Closely review the beginning of the year student assessments with campus instructional specialists to identify students with needs and to determine the TEKS to target. Also, provide some reading activities that help increase children’s love of reading.

Next Steps:

· The Site Coordinator will continue to work with campus administrators, teachers, and specialists to support student’s writing skills. Tutorials will be provided for writing, and the program will continue to integrate writing into other activities.

· The Site Coordinator will continue to work with campus administrators, teachers, and specialists to support struggling readers. Tutoring will continue in the fall and the spring to help meet students’ needs, and the program will continue to incorporate reading into other activities such as science activities and those related to culture.

· In looking forward, the Site Coordinator wants to focus on math and writing. Beginning of the year benchmarks and assessments will help identify students that would benefit from support and the TEKS that need strengthening.

· From the Capacity Development training in the spring, the Crowley ISD 21st CCLC staff developed goals which include 1) strengthening family engagement through collaborative planning, 2) creating collaborative teams or cohorts of Site Coordinators to facilitate program planning and to provide strategic professional development, and 3) increasing school/community engagement and relationships. The new school year will dictate to what extent these are developed, depending on how the schools function while the coronavirus is prevalent. Some progress has been made this year on these goals including collaborative work among Site Coordinators and the seven sites providing some joint family engagement events. The Site Coordinators are experienced in facilitating the program and have many strengths among them.

Quality

To improve his skills and knowledge, the Site Coordinator attended the following training and/or professional development: ACE Town Hall Meetings, ACE Capacity Development, 21st CCLC Grant Compliance Training, OSTI-Con Webinars, Weekly Articles to Read, Weekly Videos, YDI Staff Training, and Crowley 21st CCLC Staff Meetings. The Site Coordinator also attended PLC meetings and met with the Principal and Reading and Math Specialists to help align the afterschool program with the regular school day. In addition, the Site Coordinator reviewed posted lesson plans when planning afterschool activities and lessons.

Activities were intentionally selected to meet the needs of the students. Activities provided support for reading, math, science, writing, STEM, social studies, computer skills, coding, homework help, and critical thinking skills. Also, activities were offered for art, board games, fitness, technology, and college and career readiness to meet students’ interests and needs. Certified Hargrave school day teachers were employed to tutor small groups of students and to teach some of the academic activities. Activities were monitored by the Site Coordinator through formal observations and with daily or weekly walkthroughs. The Project Director visited regularly to observe the overall program, to monitor for fidelity of implementation, and to ensure that PBIS in the afterschool program was aligned with the regular school day. At the weekly 21st CCLC staff meetings with the director, site coordinators, family engagement specialist, and administrative assistant, issues were discussed as a team and the Monthly Communication Update with information about enrollment, discipline reports, budget expenditures, student academic data, examples of students who have been helped by the program, professional development attended, and issues along with plans for improvement were reported and discussed.

Local Needs and Outcomes

Hargrave selected two areas of need to be addressed through action plans. The areas of need are 1) to increase academic achievement in writing and 2) to increase academic achievement in reading. A summary of the Action Plan is presented below.

Table 6: Local Needs Addressed through Action Plans

Improvement Area Identified

Increase academic achievement in writing.

Rationale

Only 68.2% of Hargrave 21st CCLC students passed the Writing STAAR exam in 2018-2019.

Some Action Steps

The Site Coordinator collaborated with the instructional coaches and teachers to identify students needing support in writing, to identify the Writing TEKS to emphasize in 21st CCLC, and to align the 21st CCLC lesson plans with the school day lessons. Also, materials were purchased to provide teachers with resources to effectively teach the TEKS. Writing TEKS were incorporated into science activities including Young Engineers and STEM Club. The activities, Brainiacs, Homework Help, and Morning Scholars also provided support for writing. Hargrave school day certified teachers were recruited to tutor small groups of students in writing/ELA.

Summary of Strengths, Recommendations, and Next Steps

The summary of strengths, recommendations, and next steps can be found at the beginning of the executive summary of this report.

Program Overview

Theory of Change

Students in need, who spend forty-five (45) or more days in well-structured and aligned afterschool activities, taught by qualified personnel, focused on the four activity components will yield improvement in academic performance, attendance, behavior, and promotion and graduation rates of students. Hargrave Elementary recruited students in need of academic or behavioral support with the assistance of the campus administrators, counselors, and teachers. Activities were provided each semester for all four of the components. This year, the program had a later starting time because the school day was lengthened. Also the program made adjustments to serve the fifth grade which was added this year, and the school had five bilingual teachers to meet the students’ needs. In the spring, the site added some tutoring classes including one for bilingual students, and coding was added to meet students’ interests. In the fall, two vendors were contracted to provide activities for the students. Chef Tess from Aramark taught a cooking class in the kitchen and Van Grow provided art activities.

Evaluation Plan

Evaluation Description

The purpose of the evaluation is to determine to what extent various components of the project were implemented and their impact on student achievement. Crowley ISD After School Program strived for the following outcomes: 1) program implemented as written in grant application, 2) improved academic performance, increased attendance, decreased behavior referrals, increased promotion rates, and increased graduation rates.

Evaluation Design and Methods

A descriptive evaluation design was used employing both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data included 21st CCLC After School teacher surveys, parent surveys, student surveys, student grades, student attendance, student behavior incidents, classroom teacher ratings of students, core classes passed, and promotion rates. STAAR exams were not administered this year. Qualitative data included interviews, focus groups, open-ended questions from surveys, and observations during site visits. Statistical analysis included frequencies/counts, percentages, and means. A Logic Model, patterned after the ACE theory of action, was created to represent the program design.

Quantitative Data

Student Data

Hargrave Elementary 21st CCLC After School students’ grades, behavior incidents, attendance rates, promotion rates, and core classes passed were examined. STAAR exams were not administered this year.

The Student Survey was administered to students by the Evaluator during a spring site visit. There were seventeen (17) respondents to the survey in grades four and five.

Rating of Student Behavior by Language Arts Classroom Teachers

Reading and/or English/Language Arts teachers completed a survey that rated student behaviors for thirty-two (32) regular 21st CCLC After School students.

YDI/21st CCLC After School Teacher Survey

The YDI/Teacher online survey was administered in the spring to five teachers.

Parent Survey

The Parent Survey was administered online in the spring after the schools closed due to coronavirus. Ten (10) parents completed a survey.

Qualitative Data

To determine behavior outcomes, student data for school attendance, criminal and noncriminal behavior referrals, and student behavior rated by Language Arts classroom teachers were analyzed. All data were exported from the TX21st system except for the behavior ratings of regular students by their Language Arts classroom teachers, which were collected through a questionnaire/rating scale. The teachers completed one questionnaire for each student.

Behavior Outcomes/School Attendance

From the TX21st system, the regular students’ data for school day attendance were exported. This year, only fall data were used. The number of days enrolled and the number of days absent were calculated for each student. Then each student’s percentage of days present was determined. Using the individual student’s percentage of days present, the average percentage of days present was calculated for the school.

Student Behavior

Reading and/or English/Language Arts teachers completed an online survey after schools closed due to the coronavirus that rated thirty-two (32) regular 21st CCLC students’ behaviors in three areas: Class Participation, Homework Completion, and Classroom Behavior. Each student was rated by his/her own teacher. The teacher had four choices for each behavior: Declined, Stayed the Same, Improved, Did not Need to Improve. To determine the percentage of students who improved their behavior in each area, the number of students who ranked as Did not Need to Improve was omitted. Then, the number of students who Improved their behavior was divided by the total number of students who were ranked as Improved, Stayed the Same, and Declined.
