Pennsylvania's Student Assistance Program (SAP) began in the mid-1980s to address student barriers to academic success. SAP teams, groups of trained school and community professionals, review referrals, and connect students to services. State leadership conducts an annual SAP team survey, but capacity to evaluate data and affect change is limited. In 2020, leadership partnered with [institution name] to collaboratively review the survey data.
Frequencies and percentages were calculated. Open responses were coded. Logistic regression models evaluated the association between SAP team size, team meeting frequency, and team maintenance.
The 2019 to 2020 survey had 1003 respondents. Median number of SAP team members was 8 (range 1-21). The majority (54%) indicated their SAP team met once per week/cycle for 30 to 90+ minutes. Larger teams met more often. Annual team maintenance occurred for 38% of teams, and was more common for larger teams. SAP team members identified mental health (68%), trauma (44%), and parent engagement (36%) as top training needs.
An academic partnership successfully provided the capacity to review SAP survey responses, and informed evidenced-based discussion of best practice guidelines and realignment of staff professional development opportunities.
宾夕法尼亚州的学生援助计划 (SAP) 始于 20 世纪 80 年代中期，旨在解决学生在学业成功方面的障碍。SAP 团队由经过培训的学校和社区专业人员组成，他们会审查转介，并为学生提供服务。州领导每年都会对 SAP 团队进行调查，但评估数据和推动变革的能力有限。2020 年，领导层与 [机构名称] 合作，共同审查调查数据。
计算频率和百分比。对开放式回复进行编码。逻辑回归模型评估了 SAP 团队规模、团队会议频率和团队维护之间的关联。
2019 年至 2020 年的调查共有 1003 名受访者。SAP 团队成员的中位数为 8 人（范围为 1-21）。大多数团队（54%）表示他们的 SAP 团队每周/每周期开会一次，时长为 30 至 90 多分钟。规模较大的团队开会更频繁。38%的团队每年都会进行团队维护，而规模较大的团队更常见。SAP 团队成员认为心理健康（68%）、创伤（44%）和家长参与（36%）是最需要的培训。
学术合作成功地提供了审查 SAP 调查回复的能力，并为最佳实践指南的循证讨论以及员工专业发展机会的重新调整提供了信息。
