“The Growth Framework is our approach to impacting key areas in our parents’ lives: Health, Employability, Parenting, and Economic Assets. Parents are assessed on a scale of disconnection to thriving. It’s important to assess regularly to ensure that supports are relevant, appropriate, and effective.”
Donica Snyder, Director of Student and Family Support Program
Organizational Goals
FloCrit graduates transition to post-secondary or career opportunities equipped with competitive skills and work experience.
Children who graduate from our ECE Center are physically, cognitively, and social-emotionally ready to achieve proficiency in school.
Teen moms, graduates and their families have a sustainable financial plan based on their income and needs.
Teen moms, graduates, and their families strengthen social networks to assist them through crises and help them navigate resources.
How We Measure Our Impact
We capture both quantitative and qualitative data through several evidence-based tools, including the Protective Factors Survey, Teaching Strategies GOLD®, and the CLASS® assessment system. We also gather data using intake surveys, intervention records, staff observations, self-evaluations by teen mothers, parent-teacher conferences, satisfaction surveys, and attendance records. This allows us to measure the quarterly progress of teen families in areas such as social-emotional development, health and wellness, and parenting.
Florence Crittenton Services shares these insights in our annual report, which provides a comprehensive look at our impact. We also provide semi-annual outcome reports to donors and communicate evaluation findings through print and online media.
