Responding to Our Summative and Formative Program Evaluations
Each year, Kidz Matter Academy is evaluated by an external evaluator in order to find ways to make our program successful and beneficial to our students, parents, and community.
For the 2017-2018 Summative Evaluation, Ms. Chanceity Robinson, the External Evaluator for KMA suggested that suggested that KMA develop a strategy to review current student assessment data and determine where integration of remediation is needed in the after-school curricula.
Therefore, Kidz Matter Academy’s administrative staff has planned to facilitate professional development sessions in assessment data—how to read and understand it - in order to provide students with innovative approaches to the discipline.
