  • Intervening Through Supplemental Education Programs: Evidence from Toronto's Jane and Finch Community
    INTERVENING THROUGH SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS: EVIDENCE FROM TORONTO’S JANE AND FINCH COMMUNITY. Authors: Bryan Ekeh, Chinweizu Francis Okeke Literature Review Contributed by: Humber College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hanada Kardassopoulos Educational Consultant Devon Jones YAAACE Founder and Organizer Brendan Beckett Humber College Research Team Jennifer Fortune Humber College Research Team Jessonnica Chacin Humber College Research Team Tim Gao Humber College Research Team TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 5 LITERATURE REVIEW 7 PROGRAM DETAILS 15 METHODOLOGY 21 DATA INSTRUMENTS AND COLLECTION 24 RESULTS 27 JURISDICTIONAL SCAN 28 LIMITATIONS AND AREAS FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENT 30 DISCUSSION 32 WORKS CITED 34 ABSTRACT Standardized testing scores show a two-tiered public education system exists in Canada. In Toronto, for example, schools in the Jane and Finch community consistently score lower on provincial literacy and math tests than the city’s average by 11.3% in primary school, 14% in middle school, and 24% in secondary school. In response to achievement gaps in the two-tiered public school system, community groups operate Supplement Education Programs (SEPs) that aim to improve math and literacy levels by offering academic instruction after school hours, on weekends, and during summer breaks, often combined with unconventional activities like sports or arts. During the summer of 2019, the research nonprofit, Road Home Research & Analysis, partnered with the Youth Association for Academics, Athletics and Character Education in Toronto’s Jane and Finch community to study how SEPs can better close student achievement gaps. Following a 7-week small-group leveled learning intervention involving a sample size of 101 elementary and middle school students, this research documented a 13% improvement in their average literacy scores.
