Mathematica’s evaluation will assess three goals: (1) implementation and impact of student-focused initiatives on academic and behavior outcomes; (2) implementation progress for operating models and the impact of partnering with nonprofit organizations on student and school outcomes; (3) implementation of supports for staff and nonacademic supports for students and exploring the feasibility of evaluating outcomes of these supports; and (4) APS’ overall approach to implementing the Turnaround Strategy. The three-year evaluation will include an implementation analysis based on data collected during annual site visits and multiple impact analyses using the most suitable methods specific activities related to the Strategy.
