Division of Special Education P.L. 89-313 Program 1986-87. Final Report. OEA Evaluation Report.
Miller, Ronald C.; And Others
The report documents New York City's Office of Educational Assessment's evaluation of the Division of Special Education Public Law 89-313 program for the 1986-87 school year. The program is intended to provided supplemental services suited to the individual needs of participating handicapped students based upon their individual education plans (IEPs) in accordance with their learning styles and functional levels. The program has two components: (1) the Regional Services Instructional Support Unit for students in self-contained classrooms and resource rooms in community school districts; and (2) Citywide Services Instructional Supplies and Equipment for students with more severe handicaps served in low-incidence programs. During the school year students received training and materials for both components as specified. Teachers and administrators overwhelmingly approved of the services provided. Eligible students in the Regional Services Instructional Support Unit exceeded the program objective (75% of students mastering 75% of their instructional objectives). Students in the Citywide Services component did not meet their program objectives; their performance was similar to that in the previous year's program cycle. (DB)
