This week the last Fall CREE report was delivered to Ignite. IEE has been providing assessment services to schools participating in Ignite programs since Spring 2007. Over 15 schools are scheduled to engage in pretest/posttest CREE-General data collection this year. The posttest will include an additional battery of items to capture the specifics of Ignite-Transitions program.
Here is how Ignite describes their work:
“Ignite partners with schools to create a structure to help implement a peer mentoring initiative where upperclassmen mentor the incoming class to impact their Academic Performance and Social Connectedness. Our hands- on, consistent, onsite training and coaching helps keep accountability, results and sustainability high for a school. The results speak for themselves. Ignite also teams up with the schools’ leadership team to help improve staff collegiality. Through coaching and training on promising practices, Ignite can help impact the climate and culture of a building.”
