- Description:
- The most successful schools have found that reading programs harness the energy of well-performing students on grade level reading exams. Success for All (SEA) is a comprehensive restructuring program for schools based on principles of intensive interventions for early development of reading skills. The goal of Success for All is to transform schools by providing methods of intervention that aid in educational progress. This evaluation assesses the SEA program and its parental involvement component on the effectiveness it has in helping students at Drew Charter School perform on or above grade level. The sample for this evaluation is a sample of convenience. The measure consists of a statistical analysis of reading test scores and a parental involvement questionnaire. The design is XOi O2. The parental involvement questionnaires were passed out and the test scores of the parent-participant children were reviewed. The expected findings are that children who receive the SEA program along with parental involvement achieve on or above grade level reading scores. The goal of the SFA Foundation (SFAF) is to transform schools by creating and disseminating programs that are both based on research and that have been through rigorous evaluations. In addition to its direct services to schools, SFAF promotes broader policies favoring school reform through adoption and effective implementation of proven programs. The conclusions and social work implications are also discussed.
