CiviCore Launches Education Evaluation System

CiviCore is excited to announce the recent launch of an education evaluation system for CSR Colroado, a partnership between Denver Public Schools, the University of Colorado, and Padres y Jovenes Unidos. Here's what Pam Buckley of the University of Colorado had to say about working with CiviCore:

“CSR Colorado – Read, Lead, Succeed” is a joint partnership between Denver Public Schools, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Padres y Jovenes Unidos. CSR is a set of strategies that improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and content learning for middle school students. The project is funded through a U.S. Department of Education Investing in Innovation (i3) grant. The partnership contracted with CiviCore to design a database for measuring CSR implementation. CiviCore quickly developed a system that is easy to access, efficient, and effectively captures information essential to monitoring the project’s success. Throughout the development phase, CiviCore staff was professional and responsive to the needs of all partners on the grant. They met deadlines and were flexible in creating a system that is customized to capture the data requirements of a very complex federal project. The system recently went live and we have had no major complications or problems. Our users are pleased with how easy and intuitive it is to enter data, and how quick and useful it is to run customized reports (that we are already using to inform and guide our implementation). We thank CiviCore for their fantastic work!
