Editor's Notes
- We are the initiative level evaluators for SPARK. We have been working on this project since the fall of 2001 when SPARK began with a planning phase. The purpose of the ILE is to gather and disseminate learning derived from the initiative. We do monitor grantee activities, but the detailed accounting of SPARK outcomes were performed by the PLEs, which you saw in the gallery walk this morning. We are going to organize this presentation around ready kids, schools and communities. We will present for about 45 minutes and end with 30 minutes of Q and A. A few points to make: (1) You cannot tell the SPARK story in a short amount of time. For example, in our report we define what we mean by ready kids, schools, and communities. There are sections about parent engagement and what we call the SPARK partnership model, which we hope explains, in part, how the SPARK partnerships accomplished what they did. (2) As we move from Ready Kids to Ready Schools to Ready Communities, the data become more qualitative (3) At our poster session we will provide you with a form/checklist. You may order any of the publications, annual reports, site visit reports, and survey conducted by the ILE Team.
