Grade Tracking
Looking Forward Data collection proves effectiveness of programs 93% of students w/ 2 years in MpowR programs will improve GPA by an average of 0.97 grade points!! Continuity / continuation of programs important for student success.
Looking Forward Despite overall gains, many students still struggling studying in their second language. Could use more staff (2-3 staff per site not enough) or staff volunteer recruiter, both would make program more effective.
Looking Forward Education is extremely important for a prosperous, dignified life. We would love to provide these programs at all of our sites.
