After School Programs

This grant provided structure and support for self-evaluation of supplementary schools in the Greater Washington, DC area.

Through the Commendation Program, each participating school was challenged to integrate evaluation and accountability into every aspect of its programming. Schools identified their goals, documented how they are implementing and achieving their goals, and demonstrated on-going assessment and adaptation.

The Commendation Program required participating schools to take part in an orientation for educational directors, an intensive self-study process, and on-going communication, site visits, guidance, and feedback from the Board of Jewish Education staff. After this process, a team of validators examined the self-study results and conducted site visits to determine each school’s eligibility for commendation.
