Impact Vision
How the K12worX Learning Jamboree will define and measure success.
Where we are today
The Jamboree is in its pilot stage and growing slowly. We are not yet collecting impact metrics; we will begin once the program serves three to five groups. This page describes what we plan to measure. Activity from the pilot is on the Updates page.
What we plan to measure
Success will be measured by impact
The Jamboree exists to create lasting change in educational outcomes, with a focus on closing opportunity gaps for underserved communities.
Students served
Underserved students actively receiving tutoring through the program.
- Focus
- Students from low-income families and underserved communities
- Quality
- Sustained engagement over months of regular sessions
Hours of instruction
Free instruction for students who would not otherwise have access to tutoring.
- Focus
- Targeted sessions, aimed at what each student needs
- Efficiency
- Learning gains per hour of instruction
Academic improvement
Change in what students understand, tracked on the K12worX platform.
- Measure
- Skills Check results over time, standard by standard
- Validation
- School grades and test scores where available
Student leader development
Tutors and student leaders building real-world skills through the work.
- Roles
- Tutors and lead tutors
- Skills
- Teaching, communication, and leadership
How we will grow
Small first, then evidence
We would rather serve a few groups well than many groups thinly.
- 1
Start small
Run exploration pilots and learn what helps student leaders and the communities they serve.
- 2
Measure at three to five groups
Begin formal impact measurement once the program is large enough for the numbers to mean something.
- 3
Grow from what the evidence shows
Expand to more communities at a pace the results and local leadership can support.
Beyond the numbers
What we will look for
Simple counts do not capture the change we aim for in students' lives.
Academic progress
- Specific skill mastery gains
- Grade improvement over time
- Classroom engagement, as teachers report it
Student confidence
- Self-reported academic confidence
- Willingness to tackle hard problems
- Goal-setting and achievement
Leadership development
- Tutor skill progression
- Community engagement
- College and career readiness
Our vision of success
What success looks like
Students reaching academic breakthroughs they did not think possible, and young leaders building skills and confidence that serve them and their communities for life.
For students
Academic confidence, improved outcomes, and wider opportunities, whatever their economic circumstances.
For communities
Stronger educational support, youth leadership, and visible progress toward educational equity.
