Education Discussion Lunch Today

Monday, May 9th
Wilder Hall, room 112
12:00 free pizza and salad lunch
12:15 introductions and announcements
12:30 presentation and discussion


When we invest time and energy into education outreach programs like America Reads, we assume that the work will yield good results.  Good data to confirm that assumption, however, can be hard to come by.  That's why it's exciting to report that we now have statistically significant data related to reading performance at Eastwood Elementary School, thanks to the work of Oberlin College senior Noah Schwarz, psychology professors Nancy Darling and Cindy Frantz, and the staff of Eastwood.  Noah will share this data at our luncheon, and we will talk more broadly about how (and why) to do evaluation and assessment in education programs.

All are welcome at this event.
