While Boston’s nickname is The Hub, known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some students in Greater Boston face significant challenges every day. Together we can help students build on their strengths and thrive.
We analyze student data throughout the year to inform and improve our work in schools. In collaboration with our school partners, our evaluation team leverages both qualitative and quantitative data to ensure our AmeriCorps members are providing targeted, effective interventions with students. Our evaluation and coaching team:
Identifies and recommends students who would benefit most from AmeriCorps members’ targeted support.
Monitors student progress every six weeks to determine specific skill gap areas in literacy and math, behavioral skill strength areas, and attendance trends.
Observes AmeriCorps members working with students and guides them through applying quantitative data to specific action steps with students.
There are few resources more valuable to a school than committed, well-trained, focused corps members . . . City Year corps members develop strong relationships with students which deepens the student’s connection to the school and motivates them to achieve.
