Introduction • Data collected during 2005/2006 fiscal year. • Who did our programs serve? • Did programs reach the intended populations? • Did programs meet service goals? • Did children and families meet outcome goals? • Lessons learned.
Service Data • Children’s Investment Fund programs served 12,179 children and 3,124 parents/caregivers during the last fiscal year. • Programs exceeded service goals and served 13% more children than projected.
Who Did We Serve? Gender and Age Group • Programs served roughly the same number of boys and girls. • School aged children (age 9-15) make up the majority served (51%).
Outcome Goal Areas: Early Childhood and Child Abuse Child development Child health Parenting/family functioning Child stability and welfare Outcome Goal Areas: After-School and Mentoring School attendance School behavior Academic achievement Developmental assets Outcome Data
Outcome Data Limitations • The data we are reporting are descriptive, not causative. • Many data points provide information on progress made while children are enrolled. • Percentages reported apply only to the portion of programs tracking the outcome and those clients who met a participation threshold. • 64% the children served met participation thresholds set by grantees for outcome tracking.
Early Childhood and Child Abuse Program Data • Grantees needed technical assistance in data collection and reporting. • Gathering Data: Technical Assistance Project with Portland State University.
Child Development • 80% of children screened met developmental milestones. • 20% who were not on track made progress on meeting milestones while enrolled. 78% of these children were referred to additional services. • Children screened showed the most risk in language/ communication development.
Child Health • 86% of children screened for current immunizations were up to date. • 84% of children were screened for health and wellness needs.
Parenting and Family Functioning • 85% of parents increased social supports. • 83% of parents increased appropriate parenting practices. • 77% of parents increased knowledge of ways to manage child behavior. • 93% of parents increased knowledge of child development. • 79% of parents increased appropriate parent-child interactions.
Child Stability and Welfare • 99% of children attending child care centers or preschools with access to mental health counselors were not removed from care due to behavioral problems. • 97% of families who were referred to the child abuse hotline for suspected abuse or neglect were not re-reported within 90 days of completing services. • 91% of children experienced an increase in stability.
After-School and Mentoring Program Data • 82% of identified program participants attended Portland Public Schools. • PPS, David Douglas, Reynolds and Centennial School Districts all provided data on academic achievement variables. • PPS also provided data on attendance, behavior variables, and progress on grades.
School Attendance(PPS Only) • 49% of program participants improved school attendance in the 2005/2006 school year. • 74% of program participants attended 90% of school days.
School Behavior(PPS Only) • 79% of program participants decreased behavior referrals • 64% of program participants decreased serious behavior referrals (those that resulted in a suspension or expulsion)
Academic Achievement:Grades(PPS Only) • 33% improved reading/English grades • 31% improved math grades
Academic Achievement:Percentage of Students Meeting State Standards in Reading and Math(All Districts Reporting)
Academic Achievement: Percentage of Students Moving to a Higher Performance Category (All Districts Reporting) • 34% of program participants moved to a higher performance category in reading or stayed at “exceeds.” • 38% of program participants moved to a higher performance category in math or stayed at “exceeds.”
Academic Achievement: Progress toward Meeting State Standards(PPS Only) • Of the students who were not meeting state standards in reading, 52% moved to a higher performance category. • Of the students who were not meeting state standards in math, 53% moved to a higher performance category.
Outcome Data Analysis • First year of data collection for many grantees. • First year results will assist grantees in making future outcome projections for their program participants. • Technical assistance necessary when grantees must gather, analyze and report data. • Need for strategies to increase level of participation in programs.
Considerations for the Future • Need for common intermediate outcomes for after-school and mentoring programs. • CHIF would need to provide technical assistance to help after-school and mentoring programs to collect, analyze and report data on intermediate outcomes. • SUN system task force is considering joint evaluation strategies.
