In partnership with STEM Action Center, UEPC shares best practices for math blended learning environments based on teacher and student survey data.

UEPC’s study compared the reading achievement of a sample of Utah’s FDK and HDK students who started kindergarten between 2015 and 2017. Results highlight the impact of FDK on reading achievement during kindergarten, and suggest a need to provide continued, targeted support to sustain students’ academic progress through third grade.

The Idaho Out-of-School Network (ION) contracted the Utah Education Policy Center to evaluate the Idaho Community Programs for Youth (ICPfY) grant. The grant aimed to enhance out-of-school programs by improving access, quality, and equity, with a focus on academic and social-emotional learning for students most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
