Family Therapy
  • The Research and Evaluation Team continues to evaluate the effects of therapy on clients’ abilities to feel empowered in their lives. Clients identify issues for which they are seeking therapy and then rate the severity of those problems. We contact those individuals within two months to assess their changes in attitudes over time.
     
  • We are now examining the types of issues for which clients seek therapy. Specifically, we are interested in the issues surrounding poverty, violence and diversity, which greatly impact many clients’ lives.
     
  • For more information about this evaluation protocol, please contact Dr. Minnett at aminnett@salesmanshipclub.org.

  • Every student’s academic and social development is assessed throughout his or her tenure at JEJCS. We use multiple measures and methods (e.g., video, questionnaires, checklists, direct observation, and standardized assessment) from a number of perspectives in acquiring information about several indicators of growth in each domain.
     
  • School-family communication, parent involvement and changes in family status are documented throughout the student’s tenure at JEJCS in order to facilitate school-family relationships.
     
  • Research and Evaluation collaborates with school personnel to develop professional development opportunities for their teachers or strategies for implementing new initiatives based upon research findings.
