Implementation Form Student Summer

Appendix 9: Implementation Form for Student Summer Activities

Summer of Innovation Student Summer Implementation Form

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is conducting a national evaluation of its Summer of Innovation (SoI) Program. Abt Associates Inc. and its partner the Education Development Center have been hired to conduct this study. The goal is to explore how SoI is being implemented and assess the outcomes related to the implementation of SoI across the country.

This form is intended to document the implementation of the SoI student summer activities across the awardee sites. All SoI awarded PIs are required to designate an individual(s) to complete this form for each class (i.e., group of students who receive the same set of learning experiences from the same teacher) held at each camp (i.e., set of activities that take place in a specific location like a school or community center) this summer.

You have been asked to complete this form based on your role in the SoI student summer activities/sessions. Completing this form will help NASA understand awardees’ efforts with students during the summer. We estimate that it will take approximately 10 minutes to complete this form. Please submit this form within two weeks of the end of each class of every camp.

Privacy and Participation

Your participation in the study is voluntary and nonparticipation will have no impact on you or your SoI awardee organization. Your responses to this survey will be protected under the Privacy Act. There is minimal risk of breach of confidentiality, and we have put in place procedures to minimize this risk. You will never be identified by name, and information from the evaluation will only be reported in the aggregate.
