EVIDENCE-BASED
RESULTS

Does it Work?

We have typical outcomes of students who have spent a week with RFT on a college campus. We coordinated the end of program survey with Dr. John Trammell at Randolph Macon College, Virginia who conducted the evaluation of GEAR UP students for the State grant to determine the impact a one week experience might have on students. 

Most of the students' responses prior to the program were centered in the middle of each graph. By the end of the week they clearly showed demonstrable changes in their opinion on a wide range of questions as their responses move from being neutral to disagree or agree.

​Further, RFT surveyed summer program students on their attitudes about Math and Science classes in school. Our summer college courses introduced most of them to subjects as diverse as archeology, physics, robotics, chemistry, marine science, algebra one, physiology, and earth science. One of the A's in our mission statement is to improve the Attitude of students, and below are responses referencing attitude about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).  These are typical responses from more than 4,000 students since 1993:

Empirically Tested

As RFT programs expanded, and included the use of Extralearning Online (ELO), outside researchers began to take notice of the results. Independent researchers such as Dr. Jack Trammell and others have examined the data generated by RFT programs and ELO usage and the aggregate results indicate very consistent success in helping students increase achievement. 
​
The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) conducts annual summer staff development conferences under their High Schools That Work (HSTW) initiatives. Dr. Jack Trammell was invited to present his research at a session of the HSTW program on 15 July 2016 in Louisville, KY. His goal was to showcase the outcomes achieved by multiple school and CBO sites that used ELO from an evidence based perspective.
