North Carolina budget analysis from NC Justice CenterEducationNC
The budget agreement provides some increased funding for education in North Carolina but does not fully address the needs outlined in the Leandro Comprehensive Remedial Plan. It provides teacher and other staff salary increases averaging 5% over two years, supplements for low-wealth districts, and additional funding for students with disabilities and instructional support staff. However, it falls short of the Leandro plan's calls for greater investments in targeted allotments, early childhood education, principal and teacher recruitment programs, and overall K-12 funding. While the budget makes initial investments, long-term recurring funding is still needed to ensure all students receive a sound basic education as required by the state constitution.

Early Childhood Education (ECE) often is part of a broader educational disadvantage policy and offers institutional compensatory programs to young children who lack specific educational stimulation in the home environment. ECE typically aims on children from deprived socioeconomic backgrounds and those of immigrant origin. Although ECE nowadays is widespread and accepted as perhaps the most important means of preventing and combatting educational disadvantage, the controversy surrounding the evidence of effects and thus the justification and foundation of ECE provisions still is not solved. This article focuses on the basis (or lack of it) of ECE in the Netherlands.

The CHIP program was created in 1997 to provide health insurance to low-income children not eligible for Medicaid. Research shows the program reduced the percentage of uninsured children from 14% to 7% nationally. Studies found CHIP increased access to primary and preventive care while reducing costs compared to private plans. Data indicates CHIP improved health outcomes for children by lowering mortality rates and high school dropout rates. The expansion of CHIP and Medicaid positively impacted the health and development of millions of American children.

This document discusses the effectiveness of targeting social protection programs aimed at improving children's education outcomes. It identifies some key challenges in targeting, such as not reaching all intended beneficiaries and high administrative costs. It analyzes evidence on targeting performance from 2000-2003, finding the median program transfers 25% more benefits to the poor. Targeting multiple methods together can improve performance by offsetting individual methods' weaknesses, though complexity may also increase costs. The document concludes by highlighting priorities for post-2015 policies related to targeting effectiveness.

The document is a letter from the Wayne County Board of Education to the North Carolina State Board of Education expressing concerns about the selection of Carver Heights Elementary School in Wayne County to be transferred to the Innovative School District for the 2019-2020 school year. The letter argues that the selection process was flawed and did not follow the statutory requirements. Specifically, it claims that the process lacked transparency, did not properly evaluate the factors contributing to the school's performance, did not engage the required stakeholders, and resulted in the State Board's authority to select being usurped as only one school was recommended. The letter requests that the State Board address these issues and ensure the process is carried out with integrity and in accordance with statutes and policies.
This document summarizes the results of social protection programs in Africa that aim to reduce poverty through cash transfers. It finds that:
1) Government-run non-contributory cash transfer programs in Africa have tripled over the last 15 years, though overall coverage of social protection remains low.
2) Evaluations of cash transfer programs in 10 African countries find they significantly reduce poverty, improve food security and nutrition, increase spending on education and healthcare, and boost asset accumulation.
3) Cash transfers are found to have multiplier effects, stimulating broader economic activity at household and community levels without increasing inflation.
The document summarizes research from the Office of Research-Innocenti on using fiscal policy analysis to promote equity for children. It presents a framework that integrates child-focused budget analysis, child poverty measurement, and fiscal incidence analysis. As a proof of concept, the framework was applied in Uganda. Key findings included that targeting social transfers based on multidimensional child poverty measures or monetary poverty could help reduce child poverty but with small impacts due to low benefit levels. Policy simulations found that reducing education gaps had the largest potential impact on child poverty at relatively low cost. The research aims to develop the approach into a global public good tool to generate evidence and inform policy discussions on equity for children.

This document discusses the history and current state of early childhood education and care (ECEC) systems in Canada, with a focus on Ontario. It notes that historically, ECEC has been split between separate "care" and "education" systems. However, many countries are now moving towards more integrated approaches. Ontario recently announced plans to develop full-day early learning programs for all four and five year olds, which could help integrate the split systems. Some key challenges in developing this new integrated program are merging the public kindergarten and private childcare systems, financing, maintaining stability for existing childcare, determining staffing models, and managing the phase-in process. How Ontario addresses these challenges could influence the future of ECEC
Social protection programs aim to achieve multiple goals such as increasing school attendance, improving health status, and encouraging higher risk economic choices. They seek to increase households' ability to manage risk and contribute to economic growth. Common types of programs include social insurance, social assistance, and labor-based interventions. Many countries are increasingly adopting conditional cash transfer programs that provide assistance to poor families contingent on children's school attendance and healthcare visits. Effective social protection programs require adequate administrative capacity and coordination between implementing organizations.
1) An experiment in Zambia found that a government cash transfer program that provided $12 per month to households with children under 5 years old did not increase fertility over 4 years.
2) The study used a randomized controlled trial to compare fertility outcomes of over 2,500 households that received the cash transfer to those that did not. It found no significant impacts on several measures of fertility.
3) This adds to evidence from other developing countries that unconditional cash transfers generally do not increase fertility, as they empower people to make their own decisions rather than feeling obligated to have more children due to the transfer.
1) Social protection programs can play a critical role in facilitating safe transitions to adulthood for adolescents by addressing vulnerabilities during rapid development.
2) However, adolescents are often not directly targeted and their needs are inconsistently reflected in program design, with a focus on younger ages and practical needs over empowerment.
3) Education is a main focus of social transfers for adolescents, which can challenge gender norms by promoting schooling, but impacts vary by context and more can be done to address gendered risks faced by both boys and girls.
The document summarizes research on the impacts of cash transfer programs on gender dynamics. It finds that:
1) Cash transfer programs in sub-Saharan Africa often target women to achieve outcomes like improved child well-being, though evidence supporting this approach is mixed.
2) Evaluations of cash transfers' impacts on women's empowerment also show mixed results, depending on the indicators and contexts studied.
3) A study in Zambia found its Child Grant Program increased women's decision-making power modestly and their ability to save and engage in small businesses significantly, suggesting it had a subtle empowering effect.

There are three types of health insurance cover available in the market today. These are:
Mediclaim:
These policies cover you for hospitalization expenses. Actual hospitalization expenses are paid subject to a maximum limit of the sum assured opted for. All insurers offer policyholders cashless treatment in their network of hospitals. Policyholders can also pay upfront and then claim reimbursement from the insurer.
We recommend Mediclaim as a basic “must have” health insurance to our customers. Mediclaim can be individual or a family floater. In individual every person has his or her own individual policy. In a family floater the members of a family pay a single premium and have one insurance policy that covers the family. Sometimes parents and in-laws can also be included in the family cover. A floater cover provides a lot of flexibility for the family and normally works out more economical.
Fixed Benefit Cover
These is a new class of insurance products in the Indian market. These plans pay a pre-determined sum of money depending upon the number of days a person is in hospital and the type of surgery done. This amount may be more or less than the actual expenses you incur. We recommend this as an additional insurance to purchase after you have the basic mediclaim policy. Similar to the indemnity cover, fixed benefit cover has individual and family floater options. Fixed benefit policies will pay you the benefit even if the actual costs are reimbursed by a mediclaim policy.
Critical Illness plans
In these plans a fixed sum of money is paid if the person gets certain pre-specified diseases. Plans can cover anywhere from 9 to 35 diseases. In our view these plans are best bought after one has the basic medicliam and fixed benefit plans. They are ideal for diseases that are debilitating but may not require constant hospitalization - for example cancer or renal failure.
Each of the insurance plans described here can be taken for a single Individual or may include dependents such as the spouse, minor children, parents, parents-in-law, grandparents and grandchildren.

The document provides an overview of the Chronic Poverty and Education Policy Guide. It discusses the guide's aims to steer policymakers and practitioners through evidence on the relationship between education and chronic poverty. The guide is organized into four sections that cover: the intersections between chronic poverty and education; how to make schools more pro-poor; successful transitions for youth; and transformations brought about by education policies. It also includes a table mapping strategic education interventions to aspects of chronic poverty and contexts where they are especially needed. The document outlines the background, scope, and structure of the policy guide.
The document discusses issues facing foster youth who age out of the foster care system at 18. It finds that these youth often experience negative outcomes like homelessness, unemployment, and incarceration at much higher rates than the general population. It evaluates the need for a program to better support foster youth as they transition to independence. The goal would be to implement a new program that helps prepare foster youth for adulthood through extended care and services, leading to improved and more productive lives.

Programmatic purposes and outcomes
Select and discuss three programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated. In your discussion, provide the rationale for the purposes and outcomes selected. It will be assumed the purposes and outcomes selected were influenced by the program being evaluated.
The program that I will be discussing is human service programs. In the abiding endeavor to enhance human service programs, service providers, policy makers and funders are more and more recognizing the significance of thorough program evaluations. They want to know what the programs achieve, what they spend, and how they must be operated to attain maximum cost efficiency. They want to recognize which programs function for which groups, and they need endings based on proof, as opposed to impassioned pleas and testimonials. The purposes should state the extensive, extensive range result that maintains the mission of the program, including content information areas, performance prospects, and values anticipated of program graduates. Purposes can be stated in wider and more stirring language than outcomes that have to be measurable and specific. Outcome is the reason nonprofit organizations struggle to build capacity and deliver programs. Measurement of outcomes is the systematic way of assessing the extent to which a program has attained its intended results.
The programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated include:
Programmatic purposes
· To monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department.
Without departments, the purpose or goals of human services would be very hard to fulfill. Human services is a very large sector that entails a wide range of skills, knowledge and disciplines focused on enhancing the well being of human both collectively and individually. Just like there are a lot of sectors in human services, so too there are a huge variety of functions of the human service programs that need to be evaluated so as to accomplish the purpose of the program (Connell, Kubisch, Schorr & Weiss, 1995). One of the programmatic purposes of human service programs is to monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department. Any department or even sector requires frequent checks to make sure that it is functioning well and according to the purpose. This purpose is very crucial in the execution of the human service program goals. It needs to be evaluated to make sure that the functions of the health and human service department are in line with the programmatic purposes of the program.
· Assessing internal control over compliance requirements to provide reasonable assurance.
The compliance requirements are very crucial in every program as they make sure that the program is in line with its goals and makes sure it works towards achieving its stipulated outcomes. This purpose needs to be evaluated to m ...
Obesity Grant ProposalObesity is a major health concern that is.docxvannagoforth
Obesity Grant Proposal
Obesity is a major health concern that is affecting advanced nations like America. The current lifestyle defined by heavy intake of junk consumables with high caloric levels has contributed to a rise in obesity (Powell, 2019). Children are the worst affected. This proposal endeavors to address this health hazard among children in US. Our operations will be domiciled under the jump2it program. This program seeks to raise obesity awareness and actively aid overweight children through exercises. This grant segment includes the idea, statement of needs and sponsor identification.
Proposal Idea
The proposed idea for addressing child obesity under “jump2it” is divided in two phases. First, sensitizing children on the significance of embracing healthy diets derived from plants is a priority. Processed foods that are riddled with sugar, fats and preservatives have been blamed for obesity (Kramer & Narayan, 2015). The unregulated deposition of fats in the body causes overweight and blocking of blood vessels. Health issues like hypertension result in the process. This challenge plagues children in states like Virginia and Oklahoma. Our program would devote substantial resources into the worst affected areas. Secondly, the idea of exercising would be incorporated in our program. Currently, children spend most of their time indoors. They deny themselves a chance of metabolically breaking down calories accumulated from food. Physical activities are instrumental in the reduction of obesity. The children enrolled in our program would be routinely involved in adventurous exercises. Exercises should be demystified among children. They should be viewed as adventure instead of work. Such an approach encourages participation.
Needs Statement
Obesity reduction programs are urgently needed due to the following. First, obesity is spreading at an alarming rate among children. This essentially implies that the United States has very many obese children than any point in its history. Overweight kids are at increased risk of developing health complications like hypertension compared to normal ones (Powell, 2019). These programs are thereby needed to sensitive children on healthy eating and exercising to reverse the negative trajectory. These programs are needed to offer complementary care to these children. The tough economic times have overwhelmed parents. They are preoccupied with income generating activities. Little attention is paid to the wellbeing of the children. Secondly, this program is needed to enable children actualize their potentials by boosting their esteems. Obese children are prone to ridicule and molestation from their peers. Molestation can demotivate a child from pursuing academic endeavors. This program would acts as a supporting pillar to such children. They should be made to understand that their condition is reversible.
Thirdly, the program is needed to act as a counterweight to the disinformation th ...

1. A strong statewide college success initiative for foster youth in New York would provide comprehensive financial aid to cover all tuition and living expenses, as well as on-campus support services including advising, tutoring, assistance with housing and employment, and an emergency fund.
2. The program is estimated to cost $8.6 million annually at full capacity to support 1,216 students each year, but would yield $28.2 million in fiscal benefits to the state over the lifetimes of those students from increased tax revenue and lower public costs due to higher education levels.
3. Key components of the program include pre-college informational resources, a summer transition program, designated advisors, and a simplified

Results of the Evaluation
The results of the evaluation of the School Success Program showed improvement in academics for children who were victims of maltreatment. This program recognized that there is a correlation between poor school performance of children who were maltreated. The School Success Program assists maltreated youth in school with tutoring and mentoring by certified teachers (Mallett, 2012). This program recognized that children who are maltreated have learning difficulties in school. Providing assistance to maltreated children with tutoring and mentoring increased their performance in school. “Program participants have shown one-year improvements that are significant when compared with those of their non maltreated peers: Basic reading and comprehension skills improved 58 percent; math reasoning and comprehension skills improved 50 percent; basic writing skills improved 48 percent; and overall academic skills improved 51 percent” (Mallett, 2012, p.13). These results were noted from both genders and with minorities, especially males.
Background Information and the Key Message
Background information that I would need to present to show that this program is successful and should be implemented elsewhere, is to show the results of identified maltreated children without intervention and to compare the results to maltreated children with interventions. I would show graphs and data to compare the results and the increased improvement of the interventions is significant. I could provide results of a single research study to show how the intervention improved academic performance which is significant. Also, using results of past research studies. Physical abuse and neglect have been shown to have negative results on school performance. Showing how the tutoring and mentoring program improved academic performance is significant.
Strategies to meet your Colleagues’ Interests and Goals
Strategies to meet my colleagues’ interests and goals would be to utilize surveys to learn about concerns that my colleagues may have about poor academic performance. If the goal is to reach this population early to produce better results in school performance, the program that is yielding strong results should be implemented.
Questions Colleagues Might Have and Possible Reactions
Questions colleagues might have about the program is how do we reach the intended population? How do we implement the program and maintaining the fidelity of the program that yields the intended results? What skills and trainings do the tutors and mentors need to possess. I would show that we will screen for poor academic progress and poor attendance to identify some. When we are aware that a children services agency is involved with certain children, they are enrolled automatically in the program. Ensure that tutors and mentors can be interns in education, working on their teaching degrees. I believe if their questions are answered during the presentatio ...

Pathways to Opportunity Project: Increasing Educational Equity through Innova...Leslie Talbot
This paper details the complexities of in- and out-of-school challenges encountered by off-track youth. It outlines the tremendous opportunity these students present for high school innovation. The authors maintain that schools appropriately designed can effectively meet the academic and nonacademic needs of over-age and under-credited students. The authors provide recommendations school design and systems modifications that can be implemented in either public charter or district alternative high schools. It is the authors’ position (and experience) that schools implementing these design elements maintain safe and healthy climates and cultures, content and effective staff, and most importantly –greater performance gains and improved life circumstances for their students.
The document discusses the importance of high-quality early care and education programs for children from birth to age five. It states that investments in these programs yield high returns and can help close the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income children before they enter kindergarten. The document cites research showing children who attend high-quality early education programs are better prepared for school and more likely to succeed academically and financially later in life compared to those who do not. It argues that federal and state governments should make early childhood education a priority by increasing funding and establishing a coordinated, high-quality system from birth to age five.
The document discusses education for sustainable development in Haiti. It outlines the author's vision to bring together stakeholders to develop effective and sustainable education systems in Haiti to achieve quality education for all children by 2030. This will help rebuild Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and transform it into a developing country. The author's values that will guide their work include inclusive partnerships, local system engagement, focusing on equity and vulnerable groups. Key partners in this effort are identified. To achieve the vision, the author will promote collaboration, support credible education plans, ensure coordinated financing, and support improved education metrics. Progress will be measured using a collaborative approach based on PISA, which assesses learning outcomes.

America's Backbone: Education and our YouthSahr Saffa
The document summarizes three programs that aim to reduce high school dropout rates: Communities in Schools, Career Academies, and GradNation. It finds that Career Academies is the best option as it offers comprehensive resources and pathways at the lowest cost of around $159,000 per 200 students. While all three programs have helped reduce dropout rates, the author recommends implementing Career Academies on a national level through the Department of Education due to its combination of impact and affordability.
This paper examines how to improve education for gifted students through an interdisciplinary approach combining Political Science and Information Technology. Political Science provides insights into education policy and funding, while Information Technology can enhance education through data-driven personalized learning tools. The paper analyzes challenges such as identifying and challenging gifted students regardless of income level. It proposes using technology to customize curricula while increasing difficulty over time. Political reforms and teacher training could help implement these changes to better develop gifted students' potential and strengthen the workforce.
This document proposes an evaluation plan for the Girls' Empowerment through Education and Health Activity (ASPIRE) project in Malawi. ASPIRE aims to improve education and health outcomes for 125,000 adolescent girls through activities like health education, teacher training, infrastructure improvements, and community sensitization. The evaluation will assess progress toward short-term outcomes after one year and gather feedback to improve program implementation before expanding to more schools. Key evaluation questions focus on outcomes achieved, unintended impacts, participant satisfaction, and implementation challenges encountered.

INTRODUCTIONAdressing Teen Pregnancy in Pittsburg, California
In more recent years, there has been an effort in my community to address teen pregnancy due to its growing rates. Over the years teen pregnancy rates have continued to rise in Contra Costa County as well as surrounding counties. Unfortanately, the town I come from is a small town within Contra Costa County so resources are limited. In order to address teen pregnancy there needs to be easier access to resources to prevent teen pregnancy from occurring. Teen pregnancy can lead to a number of different problems such as low socioeconomic status, greater chance of contracting a sexually transmitted infec.
This document discusses an interdisciplinary approach to addressing socioeconomic inequality through engineering, education, and healthcare. It proposes that by bringing these fields together to focus on improving living conditions, increasing access to education and technology, and promoting healthcare, entire communities and nations can be lifted out of poverty. The framework suggests starting with small, localized projects to experiment with different solutions before expanding efforts. By meeting basic needs and empowering communities, people will be able to help others and strengthen entire societies from the bottom up over generations through collaborative efforts.
This document summarizes a research report on determinants of aspirations. Some key findings:
- Girls, higher SES groups, and most minority ethnic groups tend to have higher aspirations than counterparts. Aspirations decline with age and barriers.
- Aspirations are shaped by beliefs, opportunities, and environment from a young age. Financial constraints and early choices like parenthood limit opportunities.
- High aspirations generally lead to better outcomes, but not always, showing an aspiration-attainment gap for some groups.
- Supporting aspirations requires a holistic approach that considers intersections of identity and provides developmental support to overcome barriers.

The C.H.A.N.G.E Initiative Mission Statement
Our goal here at the CHANGE Initiativeis to help one another achieve and
succeed through academia, and do exactly as the acronymsuggests: Creating
Healthy Actions Not Guilty Egos. We plan on doing this through offering high
quality summer programs along with continued supportin-schoolprograms. Allof
these programs willbe centered on the principle of positiveyouth leadership that
will develop each participant into a more productivestudent and community
member. The founders and members that firmly stand behind the CHANGE
Initiative all truly believe that each and every one of the youth in our communities
servea positive niche. This is why it is imperative that we are proactivein catching
these youth at a young age and challenging them to grow both socially and
academically. That is where the CHANGE Initiativeexists to inspireand prepare
these young people to meet the challenges of not only adolescence, but the
sometimes rigorous World of adulthood as well. In doing so, our programs will
work on fortifying the foundations of morals, integrity, and intellect in order to
attain an improved state of self-sufficiency making surethat each youth member
is able to further prosper as a scholar and member of society.

Our Philosophy
“Young people are the foundation for effective development, and if engaged they will
improve many of the structural development challenges that we face today, including
enhancing the cohesiveness of families and communities, reducing health risks and
advancing livelihood opportunities. They are the bridge between effective development
policy and valuable practical action on the ground (DFID 2010: 89).” This quote pulled
directly fromthe 2010 Departmentof InternationalDevelopment (DFID) Annual
Report accurately portrays how wefeel about the roles of youth in society. If the
minds of our youth are not in the right place and the society in which the y belong
are unconcerned with this phenomenon, then how can we expect a community,
let alone a nation to flow in a pathway of prosperity? Theanswer is we can’t. If
the youth of a society are apathetic towards the academic and social standards
set forth by the governing bodies of the community, then it is an automatic
indicator as to the direction the community will head consequently. As these
youth grow older, so will their disregard. Theseyouths will then come to be
known as the burdens of society, playing little to no productiveroles in the
societies in which they wereraised. Our goal and philosophy is that we can stop
this phenomenon from happening IF together we are proactive aboutproviding
the necessary tools and interventions to inhibit this mindset/behavior.

What are “at-risk youth” indicators?
The phrase“at-risk youth” has a very broad connotation, and your understanding
of our use of the term is imperative in partnership. In themost currentcontext,
at-risk youth can be defined as those who meet any of the following
characteristics:
Live in poverty
Attend a poor school(Title I)
Embody characteristics of poor schoolperformance
Are associated with negative peer groups
Have poor social skills
Use drugs themselves, or if they are around someone who does
Are a minority
Live in a bad neighborhood (drug violence, lack of recreation)
Have low community supports
Attend an economically disadvantaged school(Title I)
Have negative role models
About two-thirds of at-risk youth will experience one or more negative life
outcomes. So, this in turn means that around one-third will overcome these
obstacles and go on to live healthy, productive lives.

What is the need?
Research strongly indicates that, low-income, “at-risk youth” particularly those of
color who are overrepresented in poverty, havelower levels of academic
performancethan their higher-income peers. “ In recent years, there has been
substantial interest around increasing high school graduation rates, yet youth from low-
income families and communities seem to be especially vulnerable to experiencing
academic challenges and dropping out of high school (Balfanz & Legters, 2004;
Hammond, Linton, Smink, & Drew, 2007; Reardon, 2011; Tyler & Lofstrom, 2009). The
achievement gap between children from low- and high income families has been
growing for many years, and students who live in poverty remain well behind their more
affluent peers (Center on Education Policy, 2011; Reardon, 2011; Tavernise, 2012) in
grades, standardized test scores, and high school completion rates (Balfanz & Legters,
2004; Education Weekly, 2011; Guskey, 2011; Hopson & Lee, 2011; Newcomb et al.,
2002; Reardon, 2011; Stuart & Hahnel, 2011). It has been found that a $1,000 increase in
annual income can raise reading and math scores by 6% of a standard deviation (Dahl &
Lochner, 2012). Youth from low-income families are also five times more likely than
youth from high-income families to drop out of high school (Chapman, Laird, Ifll, & Kewal
Ramani, 2011). It has been suggested that to increase and sustain higher levels of
academic achievement among low-income students, social supports must be put in place
(Greene & Anyon, 2010). But unfortunately, youth from lower income families usually
have fewer opportunities for out-of-school programs, although quality programs have
the potential to increase high school success and encourage postsecondary education
(Deschenes et al., 2010; Ferguson, Bovaird, & Mueller, 2007) (Kirkner & O’Donnell,
2014).” Overall, this case study came to the conclusion that those of whomare
actively involved in sometype of a developmental program yielded significantly
higher standardized testscores and managed fewer absences than the
comparison group, throughoutan academic schoolyear. Active participants were
also found to have higher academic gradepoint averages (GPA’s) and math test
scores, as a wholeas well. All of these findings support the notion that
participation in a high quality youth development programcan positively
influence the academic performanceof low income youth. With socioeconomic
status being one of the strongestand most consistentpredictors of academic
achievement it is worth noting that 57.3% of Jefferson County public school
7. The C.H.A.N.G.E Initiative Program Outline
6 | P a g e
Updated 8/26/2015
students receive free lunch, and another 5.7% receive a reduced rate. This means
that roughly 63% of the student make-up is receiving free/reduced lunch, which
in turn means that 63% of families with stakeholders in the schoolsystemmiss
the IncomeEligibility Guidelines. This is a strong indicator that can be used to
quite possibly predictthe socioeconomic status of a vastmajority of students.
Moving forward with the aforementioned statistics, wemust also note that the
schooldistrict has also been placed in the 51 percentile, meaning that the district
needs improvement, but is progressing. If thestudies conducted hold true then all
of these could be possibleexplanations as to why we are suffering fromsuch low
achievement scores within the district. All of these things lead us to believe that
the C.H.A.N.G.EInitiativecan, and will, make a difference in the lives and
academic outcomes of the students. We believe that with this programin mind,
we can help to alleviate the differences in status, thus helping to promote
academic prosperity within this school system.

Program Guidelines
The C.H.A.N.G.Eprogramis a comprehensiveprogramthat is designed to enhance
student success through positiveengagement. This programwill provideeach
mentee with a positive role model who will push each one of his/her mentees to
strivefor success both inside, and out, of the classroom. Webelieve that fromthis
experience, each mentee will be better socially equipped and academically
competent to meet the demanding tasks of everyday life. The lifelong
relationships that these students will gain, fromthese special interactions, will be
invaluable to both mentors and mentees.

Target Group
Although our programis easily able to adapt to accommodate any age group, our
particular focus is the elementary grades. Our reasoning for this is because
research has indicated that you havethe greatest possibility of affecting the
academic success of a student in their earlier years of formal education, more
specifically grades 2-5.
