Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The program has not been able to measure results. It lacks an efficiency measure and long-term performance measures, as well as performance targets and data.
  • Program evaluations failed to focus on the key program effectiveness issue--the extent which new television content developed through this program enhances student learning and early literacy/pre-literacy outcomes. These evaluations also suggest that program outreach activities have not had substantial effects on student outcomes and parent/caregiver behaviors.
  • The program plays a unique role in supporting the delivery and creation of educational programming focused on literacy and school readiness.
