Evaluation of the Butler Learning After School Time (BLAST!)

 
BLAST! is a 21st Century Community Learning Center program for students in Kindergarten through fourth grades at Butler Elementary School in Fort Dodge, Iowa to help them complete homework and improve in math and reading. Since 2003, RISE has served as the evaluator and collects a variety of data annually that has supported increased math and reading achievement over time and high levels of satisfaction with the program by parents, students, and school personnel. RISE will continue to work with the BLAST! program through June 2008.
