OUR PROGRAMS
In addition to the variety of in class programming opportunities offered by organizations in our network, the CEN has come together to implement a set of in class projects as well. Based on our commitment to supporting local schools and teachers and belief that project based learning is a critical element of a rich learning environment, CEN prioritizes the programming we provide directly in public school classrooms.
COLLABORATIVE ASSESSMENT ACROSS PROGRAMS
As a part of maintaining shared measures through which we can track the progress of our work, the CEN is committed to consistent evaluation of our programs. The majority of our evaluations are conducted by outside evaluators. We have worked with professional evaluators to create tools that can be utilized across the scope of our programs to assess participant engagement, personal and academic growth as well as SEL (Social Emotional Learning). We believe in conducting assessments collectively to ensure that we are tracking the impact of our collective work and aligning organizations around community needs.
