Program 2
UTAH STATE UPSTART PROGRAM EVALUATIONETI was contracted by the state of Utah to evaluate the UPSTART program, a computer-based preschool program that teaches children literacy skills. The evaluation consisted of: (1) evaluating the programs effectiveness preparing children academically for success in school and (2) testing the feasibility of scaling such a program to all preschool children in Utah. ETI compared outcomes for a group of children that experienced the UPSTART program with a group of children that had not experienced the early intervention program. A final report was written and submitted to the state of Utah including findings and recommendations. This evaluation was extended for an additional 4 years.
Program 3
Clark County ETI was contracted to expand the evaluation to Clark County participants, which will include a focus on dual language learners, who are learning English as a Second Language, and extend the evaluation to broaden our study of two areas specific to Clark County UPSTART participants, including the effects of the UPSTART program on home language development, and the programs impact on special education risk factors.
