Is there an evaluation process required for the ASES program?
Yes. Applicants must agree to provide information to the Department for the purpose of program evaluation. In addition, applicants agree to provide the school day attendance rates and pupil test scores from the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program for all participating students. Additionally, programs shall submit annual outcome-based data for evaluation, including research-based indicators and measurable student outcomes for academic performance, attendance, and positive behavioral changes. The department may consider these outcomes when determining eligibility for grant renewal.
