This report describes the background, methods, and findings of a “deep dive” evaluation of Roadtrip Nation’s (RTN) high school program, the Roadtrip Nation Experience. The primary focus of the evaluation was RTN pilot implementation in three San Jose Unified School District PLUS Academies during the 2011–2012 academic year, supported by analysis of program curriculum and instructional materials.
Conducted by Dr. David Conley and the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC), this multimethod evaluation project used the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation’s Deeper Learning Rubric to answer the question: How and to what extent does the Roadtrip Nation Experience foster students’ Deeper Learning?
