ABCD Creates Programming and Evaluates Data for Charter School in Anticipation of a Grant Cycle
THE PROBLEM
THE ABCD APPROACH
ABCD & Company facilitated these objectives through project management and program development for the organization’s urban education initiative. The developed program consisted of a series of learning modules that supplemented the academic experience, and incorporated external stakeholders who engaged students.
Consultants performed qualitative and quantitative research to evaluate the impact of the external stakeholders on the educational experience. The research specifically focused on the effects of social environments and socioeconomic status in the classroom. Based on the data analysis, consultants developed a summary report in support of a documentary to be incorporated into the grant proposal, which centered on education reform.

CLIENT OUTCOMES
The client was successfully awarded over $100,000 in grant funding, and successfully launched the documentary series on a major television network.
