MpowR Report 2013-2014 Whitney Padilla & Jordan Harbaugh
MpowR Program – Basics • 3 clubs first ½ of year, 4 clubs in 2nd half. • Each club met 2x/ week, on Monday + Wednesday, or Tuesday or Thursday. • Each club met from 3:45 -5:15 • 10 minutes for snack, 30 min for homework, 20 min for reading, 20 for activity, 10 for cleanup. • Average = 20 students per club
Increased Teamwork with Schools Districts • Coordinators met with principals to go over the Common Core Curriculum for each grade. • What is Common Core? • Worksheets hand-picked for student deficiencies and focused on Common Core areas.
Activity Time • Now focused on math and reading, will continue in ‘14-’15. • Reading Examples: Dominoes with rhyming words/ rhyming bingo, Word Hat, Sentence Strips. • Math Examples: Charts/graphs from M&M bags, hopscotch to learn mult. Tables & number patterns, reading analog clocks
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.
