Enriching Children through a Culturally Specific Summer Learning Program: 2019 Evaluation of Hmong Karen Youth Pride
Gozali-Lee, Edith
Wilder Research
Minnesota has a persistent and substantial student achievement gap based on race and family income. There are also substantial achievement gaps between native English speakers and English learners (Minnesota Compass, n.d.). In 2019, Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood (SPPN) worked with Hmong American Partnership (HAP) and Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) to offer a summer learning program called Hmong Karen Youth Pride (HKYP). The six-week program included a literacy curriculum and cultural enrichment activities. The literacy curriculum was taught by SPPS teachers using the district's Hmong dual language program curriculum. The enrichment activities were taught by HAP's academic support workers and were designed to educate and inspire cultural pride in Hmong and Karen students. Wilder Research conducted an outcome evaluation of HKYP. The evaluators examined student reading assessments and conducted a student survey and parent focus groups. This report describes HKYP and highlights the evaluation findings. [Hmong American Partnership and Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood assisted in preparing this report.]
