Description:
Schools First™ was
a $1.2 million project founded by the Cargill Foundation and the
Center for School Change at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of
Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. Eleven K-8 district
and charter schools were selected competitively to participate from
2001-2004. The goals for the initiative were to improve student academic
achievement and increase family involvement in education.
ACET services:
ACET served as the
principal evaluator for the Schools First™ Initiative in
planning evaluation processes in 2001 to implementing evaluation
activities from 2002-2004. Grantees received technical assistance
from ACET in
evaluation planning, development of measurement tools, and in
reporting outcomes. ACET also reviewed implementation reports from
each grantee, surveyed project contacts, and facilitated evaluation
sessions with grantees to reflect on key findings, lessons learned,
and effective strategies.
