Internship: Evaluation of One World Child Development Centre

Early intervention designed to support at-risk students and families as they enter the education system helps students achieve and excel

Summary

The purpose of this internship was to assist with initial data gathering and management as part of a larger longitudinal study of the One World Development program at CUPS. The program works with children (ages 3-6) and their families that are at serious risk of being insufficiently prepared to enter kindergarten. The One World Development program utilizes comprehensive interventions to help prepare children for school. The internship allowed initial research collection prior to the start of a more comprehensive evaluation.
