Assessing the Efficacy and Implementation of City Connects: a Systemic Approach to Student Support
The major goals of this project are to Conduct a natural experiment of City Connects to determine whether it improves the academic and social-behavioral outcomes of students who attend high poverty urban elementary schools (grades K to 5). Conduct a quasi-experimental study to determine whether the impact of the City Connects intervention is replicated in high poverty urban elementary schools (grades K to 5) that are new to implementing the program.
Conduct a quasi-experimental study to determine the impact of City Connects in middle schools (grades 6 to 8). Study the impact of site context on City Connects implementation and the extent to which variability in implementation fidelity is associated with program impact.
