Communities in Schools of Chicago Initiative (CISC) |
|
| |
Communities in
Schools of Chicago (CISC) has contracted the SSRC to help guide
a collaborative evaluation of its work in the Chicago public
schools. Since 1994, CISC has been acting as a bridge between
the schools and existing social service agencies, delivering
services to help students overcome learning barriers through
improvements in knowledge, attitude, behavior, physical and
emotional health, school safety, and access to the arts and other
enrichment activities. A theory of change focusing on CISC’s
work with schools and agencies and the impact of that work on
students drives the evaluation process. Addressing these
barriers is expected to result in improved attendance, focus on
academics, and test scores that will prepare students for school
and for life. |

research methodologies; design and implementation of the
Preservation Compact’s Data Clearinghouse and website to chart
the status of the county’s affordable housing stock; and the
