New York State Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children, 1974 (Funded Under a Grant from Title I ESEA 1965).
New York State Education Dept., Albany. Bureau of Urban and Community Programs Evaluation.
The available project data for participants in projects for neglected and delinquent in New York State are reviewed in this evaluation report. The data are organized by the State Education Department to present as comprehensive an overview as possible. Emphasis is placed on examining the reported norm-referenced achievement test results in the priority areas of reading and mathematics. The foci of the report include the following: program overview (data source, participants served, teacher-pupil ratio and inservice training); project characteristics (project session, project location, grade levels served, and needs assessment); program effectiveness (procedure, constraints, reading achievement overview, reading achievement summary, mathematics achievement overview, mathematics achievement summary, exemplary projects, and achievement summary). The report concludes that the available achievement data in reading and mathematics suggest that a certain measure of success is being obtained by projects serving neglected and delinquent children. Among the recommendations made are the following: the improvement of data collection procedures, the isolation and dissemination of alternative measurement devices for assessing pupil achievement, and the substitution of a more valid test instrument for the Wide Range Achievement Test used in the testing program.
