Information and Instructions for Teachers
Purpose


The Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) is required to measure and report on the activities of the volunteers and the impact those activities have on the
children with whom they work. This Child Assignment and Assessment Plan (CAAP) allow us to collect all the necessary data as required by our program’s
funders. For the volunteers who serve in your classroom, our program is measuring the impact of the Foster Grandparent volunteer on the students’
academic engagement and academic performance.
o In 2014-2015, teachers reported that 96% of students improved with regard to Academic Engagement and 97% in Academic Performance.
All information provided on this form is confidential. FGP never shares any specific information about a child and his or her special needs. Any data on
these forms is reported in aggregate numbers and not on an individual or school basis.

This form can be typed and if you prefer to do so, please visit our website to download the form (http://nau.edu/sbs/csi/programs/foster-grandparent/) or
request an electronic version from your Program Coordinator.
You will receive a blank CAAP at the beginning of the school year or when a new volunteer is placed in your classroom. When you receive the CAAP:
o 1) Identify the 4-6 children who will be assigned to the Foster Grandparent (we understand that all the volunteer will interact with all the children in
the class throughout the year but there must be specific children identified with whom they will work most closely)
o 2) Complete the first 7 columns of the table
 Each child’s first name and last initial
 Grade level
 Choose one (1) special need code from the box below.
 Check if child has a parent who is in prison or a veteran and if they are in foster care
 Sign and date in the Fall Signature line for teachers.
o 3) Share the information with your volunteer who will also sign and date and return to their Program Coordinator.
o 4) In the spring, FGP will redistribute your CAAP to you through the volunteer. Enter the last day (approximately) the volunteer will be serving in
your classroom, the two columns relating to outcomes, as well as noting how you measured these changes. Initial and date on the Spring set of
lines.
Teachers or other qualified school/organization staff must determine each child’s Special Need Code. A student does not need to have an Individualized
Education Program (IEP) to qualify to be matched with a Foster Grandparent.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to call your local program coordinator or the Flagstaff office toll free at 1-866-856-3017. We are happy to help.
Thank you and have a great school year!
