Council Member Rita C. Joseph inquires about how success is tracked in Summer Rising's academic and activity components, as well as the number of mandated students and their progress. DOE officials discuss various measures used to assess the program's effectiveness.
- Academic success tracked through screeners, curriculum-aligned assessments, and staff/student feedback
- Internal working groups and advisory committees established to gather feedback and assess gaps
- Approximately 10,300 mandated students participated in Summer Rising
- Officials unable to provide immediate data on how many mandated students successfully moved to the next grade
- Council Member Joseph emphasizes the importance of tracking mandated students' progress as a measure of program success

How do you track success?
2:24:15
What do you how do you track success on the academic side and also on the activity side?
2:24:21
How do you know you got it right?
Emma Vadehra
2:24:25
So I think on the academic side, it's the measures we talked about before.
2:24:29
It's the screener as we look at city wide.
2:24:32
It's also the assessments built into the curriculum aligned with the Rachaela, and those are what we're looking at and continuing to look at.
2:24:40
We also are interested in how our staff and students are feeling about the feedback, our feeling about the experience, and that gets into the survey, which also gets into our enrichment activities.
Angela Faloye
2:24:50
Internally, as well, We do have working groups and New York City Public Schools.
2:24:56
We have working groups for superintendent endpoints, and we also have a principal advisory as well.
2:25:02
So in fact, very soon before the end of the year, those groups will those groups will be up and running, and we want to hear feedback from them as well.
2:25:12
But, of course, as mentioned, we do have working groups with BYCD on various topics, on special edge.
2:25:18
So we sit back to say What are the key performance indicators internally that we need to improve upon?
2:25:25
So long story short is that we have working groups to assess gaps and continuously improve.
2:25:31
In addition to, of course, the impact analysis in addition to the surveys.
Rita C. Joseph
2:25:40
Do you have a number of how many mandated students you had for the summer and how many went on to move on to the next grade?
Angela Faloye
2:25:51
Yes.
2:25:52
So we had a total of this year, we had a total of 10,000 around 10,300 mandated students.
Rita C. Joseph
2:26:06
And how many of them were able to successfully move on to the next grade?
Angela Faloye
2:26:13
The lack of acquisition I don't have at this time, but we'll get you that we'll get you that information.
Rita C. Joseph
2:26:20
Because that's how we're also gonna measure our success.
2:26:23
Right?
2:26:23
How many of our students were mandated and how many of them were able to move on to the next grade, and that that's also gonna be the way where we're gonna look.
2:26:30
How do we plan for next year?
2:26:32
Right?
2:26:32
So yeah.
Angela Faloye

2:26:34
