3. Identify trends, patterns, and notable changes over time, including any achievement gaps.
4. Summarize the program's effectiveness and impact, using the data to support your conclusions.
5. Highlight strengths and areas for improvement, and suggest how to frame these findings in a grant proposal.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data; only use the information provided.
• Flag any assumptions about the data or missing information.
• Stay focused on the program and time period specified.

Example

• {{program_name}}: STEM program, {{time_period}}: past three years, {{data_points}}: student achievement, participation rates.
