Outlier Research and Evaluation

Evaluation of Code.org Computer Science Education Programs

Evaluation Year 1: 2014-15 CODE

Evaluation Plan 2015-16

Outlier’s second year of evaluation focuses on student and teacher outcomes. Outlier will work closely with four focus school districts (Chicago, Houston, Broward County FL and Forsyth County GA) to collect pre and post teacher and student attitude surveys; post implementation surveys from students and teachers; teacher focus groups; and teacher interviews (Computer Science Principles only). Outlier will also explore potential relationships between student and teacher attitudes, and student standardized test scores, and will compare test scores between students that participate in Code.org lessons, and students with no exposure to Code.org.
