21stCCLC Program Evaluation

All states are required by the United States Department of Education to have a State Level Evaluator for the 21st CCLC program. The purpose of the evaluator is to assess the extent to which the state-level expected program outcomes have been achieved. The results of state level evaluation will be used to guide the Department’s efforts to: direct and improve its administration of the program; provide assistance to local grantees; and to improve program quality and outcomes for participating students.Ìý serves as New York’s current State Level Evaluator.

Resources for Evaluators

Email Lily Corrigan with the Statewide Evaluation Team to access the Evaluator's Resource Library for additional tools and guides.

21st CCLC Evaluation Manual

The Evaluation Manual contains local program evaluation requirements that are consistent throughout the state, while encouraging individualized evaluation processes suited to local programs and their contexts. The requirements support high quality programming, which in turn helps ensure support of positive student academic, social-emotional, and behavioral outcomes.

The requirements for 21st Century evaluation, beginning July 1, 2013, include:

  • Evaluability Process (to review goals, objectives and fidelity to original grant proposal, discuss program timeline, and ensure that the program is ready to be evaluated)
  • Interim evaluation report
  • Evaluator attendance at quarterly advisory meetings
  • Point of service quality reviews (two required site visits per year)
  • Student survey (standardized survey for a sample of programs each year, survey of choice for others)
  • Annual Evaluation Report (AER)
