Title I in Action. Evaluation Summary Data 1974-75 Regular Session, 1975 Summer Session, Virginia.
Virginia State Dept. of Education, Richmond.
The evaluation reports submitted by local educational agencies (LEAs) in Virginia during 1974-75 are the bases of the data and information contained in this report. Some of the highlights of the analyses conducted on Title I programs are as follows. In the area of administration, enrollment in Title I classes has been concentrated in grades one through four. Enrollment in these grades increased six percent over 1973-74. The total number of teachers and other educators participating in Title I funded inservice training nearly doubled over the previous year. Of the factors that contributed most toward accomplishing Title I objectives, use of teacher aides was ranked by the LEAs as number one, as it has been for the past five years. During the past year, the greatest emphasis had been placed on reading and mathematics. In the area of reading, comparable data suggest that eligible Title I pupils gain about .68 in grade equivalent when not enrolled in Title I reading programs. Title I participants gained more than four additional months in grade equivalent than would have been expected were they not participants in Title I reading programs. In the area of mathematics, comparable data indicate that pupils would have been expected to gain about .72 months in grade equivalent per month of instruction had they not been enrolled in the Title I mathematics program. California Test results indicate the gain was doubled when students participated in the Title I program. (Author/AM)
