Member Snapshot – Focus List Feedback Questions Guiding Questions • Are the Focus List student numbers accurate? • Have PFs worked with you to identify comparison students? • Are the missing pieces actually missing? Or do they need a nudge to enter it? • Are PFs supporting students equitably? What feedback can you provide your PFs on intervention time?
Site Snapshot and Feedback Guiding Questions • Are the Focus List student numbers accurate? • Has your site identified the 5 comparison students per member? • Do the minutes of support per week reflect actual PF support? • As a supervisor, how can you help your Promise Fellow(s) spend time more equitably between students? • How can the SEI averages help inform student support? SEI is a 4-point scale so the highest engagement number would be 4
Using SEI Domains – Engagement Tab Promise Fellows made lists of every student that had a 1 or 2 in each Domain Psychological Cognitive
WOOP Promise Fellow Activity – Psychological & Cognitive Domains:
Promise Fellow Impact Study Progress Feedback from the Evaluator • Only 6 can’t be comparison students! • Need 182 more students to have a comparison group of 500 • Have the ability to show progress/outcomes in subgroups (next slide)
Promise Fellow Impact Study - Subgroups • Need 100 served and a 100 comparison to analyze outcomes • Noam has a list of sites that were willing to share more de-identified comparison students from Oct. Supervisor training • For the 182 more students, would like American Indian, Asian, and Hispanic students • If those students were also EL or ELL students, that would help show that outcome
Promise Fellow Program &Impact Study Needs • Focus List Students need to qualify through our mission • Need 5 Comparison Students per Promise Fellow • Comparison students need to NOT qualify and NOT be supported by the Promise Fellow For attendance, try to be as close to 90% as possible
