EMPOWER was an Investing in Innovation (i3) development grant awarded to Cabarrus County Schools by the Office of Innovation and Improvement, U.S. Department of Education. EMPOWER provided social-emotional, academic, and non-cognitive supports in magnet school settings to students from low-income families. Family engagement and teacher professional learning on cultural responsiveness were key pillars of the EMPOWER program. A dual-language immersion plus rigor model was implemented at treatment elementary schools while a STEM or IB model was implemented at treatment secondary schools. Literacy skills were assessed for the elementary study using the DIBELS standardized assessment. Math achievement was assessed for the secondary study using standardized statewide math test scores. The impact evaluation used a longitudinal quasi-experimental design (QED) to examine the effect of EMPOWER on literacy skills and math achievement. Hierarchical linear modeling was run to analyze outcomes for EMPOWER students compared to a matched sample of comparison students with similar baseline scores who participated in business-as-usual, traditional academic instruction. Results showed no statistically significant impact on literacy skills or math achievement. [The report was submitted to the Cabarrus County (NC) Schools.]
