Measure 1 (Initial): Completer Effectiveness. (R4.1)
The EPP gathered data from four local elementary and middles schools where we could identify USA program completers listed for all classrooms for a grade level. We then used publicly available test data to review proficiency levels for K-12 students taught by our completers.
