The National Institute for the Advancement of Education (NIAE), housed inside the College of Education, began a long-term partnership with the City of Henderson’s Safekey programs and Communities In Schools (CIS) of Southern Nevadas to assess the impact of before- and after-school activities on students. The partnership will survey areas like quality of interactions with students, time spent on activities, relationship building, and monitoring of student knowledge and skills. After the study, recommendations for professional development will be developed and implemented to improve support for local students.
