Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers, 2022-2023 Evaluation
West Virginia Department of Education
The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program is a formula grant program maintained by the Office of Academic Improvement within the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education at the United States Department of Education (USED) to support the "creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools." This program evaluation provides information about the implementation and outcomes of the 21st CCLC program in West Virginia from July 2022 through June 2023. This evaluation was based on an evaluation logic model that delineates the following outcomes: (1) High quality enrichment programs that increase students' literacy and numeracy skills; (2) High quality enrichment programs that increase students' social/emotional skills, behavior, and resilience; (3) All programs operating as high quality, safe, and supportive environments; (4) Increasing sustainability; and (5) Increasing family and community involvement. Various data collection procedures including surveys, focus groups, artifacts, and secondary data, were employed to answer evaluation and implementation questions and were analyzed using qualitative and descriptive data analysis. Analysis of extant data, using matching groups of participating and nonparticipating students, allowed for comparisons of student outcomes. End-of-Year recommendations based on the findings are provided to state-level policymakers.
