Agency Description: CRWorks is a nonprofit agency that works to eradicate homelessness.

Project Description: One of the programs within the CRWorks agency is Career Resource Centers. Career Resource Centers received a federal grant to open a Community Technology Center (CTC), which is designed to provide supplemental educational services to 100 low performing students in grades 9 through 12. The Career Resource Centers collaborated with one public school, Lew Wallace High School, to install the center. The program utilized proven methods of instruction and technology tools of one of Harvard’s Project zero research, the Teaching for Understanding (TFU) pedagogy. The goal was to increase educational performance of students from Lew Wallace, a school that did not meet its Adequate Yearly Progress.

ACET services: ACET was contracted by the collaborative to design and implement an evaluation plan for the Community Technology Center Project.
