Report cards are in!

As the next decade begins (I know, we can’t believe it either!), it’s time for us to reflect on how our programs performed in 2019 and share our findings with you, the people who make this all possible.

Here at CoEd, we evaluate the success of our programs each year using tools like standardized pre- and post-tests, surveys, and interviews. Our Spark Reading Program even has results from a Randomized Control Trial (RCT), which is the gold standard of evaluation! Pretty fancy, right?

If you like data as much as we do, you’re in the right place. Scroll down to nerd out with us for a minute!
