21st Century Community Learning Centers: A Descriptive Evaluation for 2009-2010
West Virginia Department of Education
The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) has implemented a program, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC), to help establish local community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for children to: (1) meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects; (2) offer students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and (3) offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children. This evaluation of CCLC for 2010 consists of a descriptive analysis of the teacher and program director surveys, as well as a compilation of the dose strength data for each of the individual programs. Two survey instruments were used, one for program directors and one for teachers from schools participating in the CCLC program. Instruments were mailed from the WVDE Office of Research to all CCLC program directors, who then distributed them to all site coordinators. Site coordinators sent the teacher survey on to all teachers who had referred students to the CCLC program. Both surveys were filled out at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. A series of analyses were run using descriptive statistics from the surveys. Findings and recommendations are discussed.
