Information related to student achievement, student behavioral indices, technology literacy, and program satisfaction is discussed. The evaluation results indicate that the Project C.H.A.N.C.E. program is well thought of by students and parents, and that teachers are seeing an improvement in some classroom behaviors for students participating in the program. Based on comparisons of participants and non-participants, impact on reading and writing performance was not seen during year two of implementation. However, district test scores and grades indicate improvement throughout the academic year. To look more closely at program impact, it would be appropriate to focus on students who have participated in the program since its inception.
