Measuring Impact

 

We will monitor the effectiveness of our strategy through:

  • Academic data: progress in literacy and numeracy
  • Reading data: progress in accelerated reader scores
  • Quality of Life surveys
  • Case stories and personal learning plans 
  • Attendance and increase participation
  • Progress in personal development

Progress will be reviewed termly, and adjustments will be made as necessary to ensure funding is having the maximum impact.
