Space Age Cooperative Education (Project SPACE). Final Report.
Education Collaborative for Greater Boston, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
Summerized in this report are the developmental tasks and accomplishments of Project SPACE. An experimental program in cooperative vocational education, SPACE was devised by EdCo, an educational collaborative of seven Boston area school systems, for the purpose of offering potential dropouts in the vicinity an alternative form of education: going to school in an industrial setting. SPACE'S uniqueness lies in the fact that its 45 students receive both academic instruction and work experience in an interrelated manner. Instruction in course content is given during the morning hours while work experience is an evening event. The teacher-pupil ratio and free atmosphere prevalent in the environment allows for the special tutoring of slow students and the carrying out of independent activities by other more advanced pupils. The involvement of teachers with students does not stop in the classroom but overlaps to the work arena. SPACE is not without problems; in fact it has many, some of which are: (1) finding other sources for expanding the project should tbe enrollment increase, and (2) finding support should the present aid be curtailed.
