Bridging the gap between mission and impact.
With the TraxSolutions Community tracking and outcome measurement solution, your fingertips are always on the pulse of performance data and program effectiveness.
TraxSolutions gives you the power to:
- easily identify at-risk children and youth
- identify and target those who are lacking academic and social support
- track unique groups for impact analysis
- track a program's efficacy over time
- establish targets for future performance
- better direct resource allocation
- maintain accuracy and accountability
TraxSolutions tracks over six million people within a base of approximately 8,000 users in 3,500 locations. It is used by schools, school districts, universities, community centers, parks and recreation centers, Boys & Girls Clubs, Police Athletic Leagues, Salvation Army Youth Centers, faith-based programs, and many other educational and non-profit organizations.
TraxSolutions is currently the only solution in the country that integrates data from external sources, such as student information systems, in order to improve community services to its youth.
APAS Integration
TraxSolutions is also the only tracking and outcome measurement solution that includes the fully integrated Afterschool Program Assessment System (APAS) via a partnership with the National Institute of Out of School Time (NIOST). This integration has resulted in the only research-based evaluation tool that is combined with a comprehensive participant management system that correlates attendance data with evaluation results. The combination of the Survey of Afterschool Youth Outcomes (SAYO) and the Assessing Afterschool Program Practices Tool (APT) allow APAS to:
- help after-school programs to improve program quality in order to achieve desired youth outcomes
- link program quality and youth outcomes in one comprehensive, flexible, and integrated solution
- centralize information with TraxSolutions Community OneCard
- utilize research-based tools that link teacher, staff, and youth perspectives
- provide data-driven assessments of specific, observable practices
CASE STUDY:
After-School Program - Student
Information System Integration
In 2001, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) in Louisville, Kentucky, successfully linked its student information system to local after-school programs that focus on improving academic performance. JCPS selected nFocus Software to launch a system enabling after-school program administrators to electronically access student grades and other key school records, and link them to time and attendance data for the after-school program participants.
Based on statistics from six Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs that were linked to the system, outcome tracking metrics delivered by the software demonstrated that regular participants in the clubs' after-school activities had an average attendance record of 96.6% - four to seven points above students who did not participate in the programs.
Both parties benefited from – and still use- the integrated system. Jefferson County Public Schools uses the data for academic analysis, and the youth centers use the student records to match attendees to their academic activities.
