Follow on Google News | Outstanding Fourth Quarter Assessment Results at the J.C. Coleman/Delaware After-School ProgramThe months of tutoring and enrichment activities have paid off for the J.C. Coleman/Delaware after-school students. Fourth quarter progress report grades revealed 63-68% improvement while survey results remained favorable.
By: Jo Ann Coleman, Ed.D., President and CEO Tutors help each child with homework and then they embark on an enrichment lesson in areas such as current events, literacy, media appreciation, arts and crafts, and sports and recreation. The fourth quarter progress report grades showed a 63% improvement in at least three of their seven classes and a 68% improvement in at least two of their four core classes. Survey results were also favorable: 95% reported that they like school, 100% reported that they like the J.C. Coleman After-School Program, 89% reported that their grades had improved, and 100% reported that the after-school program helped them at school. Research shows that participants in after-school programs are less likely to commit crimes, be victims of crime, try drugs, or become teen parents (Iowa After School Alliance). And with 86% of our nation’s youth deprived of the after-school experience, the children at the J.C. Coleman/Delaware After-School Program are not only showing positive results, but they are also fortunate to be in this safe environment. As documented by fourth quarter results, the J.C. Coleman/Delaware after-school program continues to be effective through intense homework help and fun and exciting enrichment activities. # # # The mission of The J.C. Coleman Foundation, Inc. is to improve academic achievement and the attitude toward academics of at-risk adolescents through a variety of creative, innovative, non-traditional and collaborative support services.
