Empirical Evidence

An experimental program evaluation is in the process of being designed and implemented in the midwest by Professor Chris Slaton (Purdue University). In addition to this, the program has documented solid data proving it’s effectiveness. A pilot program including four classrooms in a middle school in the mid-west demonstrated youth academic and social improvement in the areas of G.P.A, attendance, and behavior. The average g.p.a overall had increased half a point in just ten weeks, and interviews with youth, administrators and parents demonstrated that the major factor in the improvement was the program. In addition to this, another pilot was launched at an alternative high school with seniors. After going through the program, the school reported it’s first ever 100% graduation rate. Letters were written by the students which provided further evidence that the program was a major contributing factor. There are also other data evaluation outcomes that can be shared upon request.
