Evaluation of the 2017 Building Educated Leaders for Life (BELL) Summer Learning Program in Montgomery County Public Schools

Description:

The Building Educated Leaders for Life (BELL) summer learning program was held for the second year in Montgomery County Public Schools during summer 2017.  The evaluation examined the impact of the BELL program by comparing MAP-R and MAP-M scores of attendees (935 students who attended 19 days or more of the 25 day BELL program) to non-attendees (a random sample of 935 students who were invited to BELL but did not attend).  In addition, the study compared results for the 2017 BELL program to those for the 2016 BELL program and assessed the impact of attending the BELL program for two summers (247 students who attended 19 days or more at both BELL 2016 and BELL 2017).
