Appendix B Evaluation Methodology
Scholastic Research & Validation partnered with RMC Research to conduct a third-party evaluation of LitCamp in Schenectady City School District during summer 2018. Four sites participated in the evaluation, implementing LitCamp as the primary literacy component for approximately two hours per day as part of the district’s 4-week Summer Enrichment Program. The Summer Enrichment Program ran from Monday through Friday for 10 hours per day. LitCamp served 971 students who spanned seven grade levels (kindergarten through Grade 6). Evaluation Questions The evaluation used a mixed-methods design that involved quantitative data collected through student and teacher surveys and district reading achievement data and qualitative data collected through interviews, focus groups, and observations. Exhibit B1 presents the evaluation questions and the data sources and analyses used to answer each question.
