3 The Formative Evaluation from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay for the Tampa 21 st Century Community Learning Centers assesses progress toward achieving the proposed objectives with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality opportunities for academic enrichment for targeted children and their adult family members. The Formative Evaluation will provide an overview of the program followed by sections on (1) student attendance; (2) program operation; (3) objective assessment; and (4) recommendations. I. Program Overview: In the fourth year of operation, the Tampa 21 st Century Community Learning Centers targets services to over 350 K-5 th grade students at seven Title 1 schools, Booker T. Washington, Edison, Lockhart, Potter, Dunbar, Just, and West Tampa Elementary s, and one private school, St. Peter Claver. Through an innovate partnership of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay, additional community providers, and the District this program provides academic and enrichment services to the children, engage family members, and builds sustainability in the community. The program utilizes three Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay (B&GCTB) facilities and their staff for the primary service locations for the program as it provides after-school, summer and holiday activities. Activities and services are offered daily, totaling over 250 days of service to enrolled youth. Other key partners deliver enhancement services including Instruments of Change who will provide an on-site music program that will permit children to master skills on instruments and the opportunity to earn an instrument of their own to keep, and Big Brothers Big Sisters provides one-on-one mentoring services at the three sites to students prioritized due to having an incarcerated parent or a boy with no male in the home. The program supports school day and extended learning programs at targeted schools, as B&GCTB serves as an elective for referred youth. Through partnerships with the schools, youth most in need of academic support, remedial education, behavior modification and supports are referred to the 21 st CCLC Program. The program entails comprehensive out of school time academic enrichment, and through other funding sources, includes basic needs services and family engagement. II. Student Attendance and Enrollment: The Tampa 21 st Century Community Learning Centers program enrolls youth referred by partner schools. The Tampa 21 st Century Community Learning Centers program has enrolled and served 384 total students, with 86% (333 students) attending at least 30 days of the program. The average number of days attended for regularly attending students is 104 during this grant cycle, leading to high program engagement. 3

During family events, information was provided to parents to help them with their knowledge of school support, homework help, getting to know their child s teacher and other topics. each cohort during and summer Parent sign-in sheets Parent surveys Measurement time frames: At the conclusion of each event (at least twice per year) Parent sign-in sheets Parent surveys Measurement time frames: At the conclusion of each event (at least twice per year) Parent Sign in Sheets were evaluated and assessed. Parent surveys were distributed Parent Sign in sheets were evaluated and assessed Parent surveys were distributed Progress - Objective Achieved: Tampa s program has made great strides in attendance by family members in our programs. All parents were notified of Parent Orientation meetings at the beginning of the 2013 year. In order for their child to participate, parents (or guardians) were required to attend the Parent Orientation. Participation at each site was 85% or better. On-going family events have continued to be held with participation by parents at 25% or better at each site. on target to be met: Parent meetings have included regular information to help parents support their student s academic success. In the spring, prior to FCAT, specific sessions regarding testing strategies will be held and a survey will assess parent knowledge. Our greatest challenge will be assessing parents who have very low or no reading ability themselves. IV. Recommendations: The program s biggest challenges have included hiring and retaining certified teachers, and receiving district approval for a paid position to administer student performance data. However, the program has consistently hired staff and receives data from the school district, allowing for the program to operate effectively. The program is also working with private schools to refer certified teachers to staff the program sites. An additional, ongoing challenge has included providing instruction for our children who are several grade levels behind their classmates. We make great progress with them; however, they may not score satisfactorily on the FCAT. 9
