Assessing a Program Serving 1,200 At-Risk Youth
 
The Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection, established in 1987, works with at-risk students in the Rochester and Syracuse NY public school districts, with the goal of keeping students in school through graduation. The program has grown substantially over time, now enrolls about 1,200 students annually, and has attracted significant national attention. In the past few years CGR has conducted 3 evaluations of the program, the most recent in 2006 with financial support from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation. CGR again found the model to be conceptually sound and worthy of community support, but also identified key issues and challenges facing the program.  
 

Academic Intervention – Evaluating Program Implementation
 

Since January 2007, struggling learners in 6 Rochester (NY) city schools and their families have had on-site access to a new academic intervention program known as EnCompass: Resources for Learning. The program, a strength-based model that depends on the student becoming an active partner in the learning process, delivers one-on-one support services. CGR was engaged by Encompass to assist with an implementation evaluation. CGR is tracking changes in individual student performance, assessing how effectively the program has been implemented in each school, and determining which factors support or impede successful program implementation.
