21.021 - Implementation Evaluation of a High School College Readiness Program: Design, Methodology, and Findings
Fri, April 5, 4:20 to 5:50pm, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine Level, Confederation 5Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
The purpose of this symposium is to present research conducted with teachers, administrators and students in 49 high schools (28 treatment and 21 control schools in 10 states) engaged in a College Readiness Program (CRP) aimed at expanding access to challenging coursework, improving Advanced Placement (AP) course access and equity, improving STEM teaching, and fostering student interest in math and science. The session includes presentations on studies of program implementation and impact as well as related measurement considerations. Presentations differ in terms of foci and include first year program implementation findings, a modeling approach to estimate the causal effect of program participation, and comparison school selection methods for a comparative interrupted time-series approach.
