This final report is an evaluation of Project Inspire, a program designed to create within the school setting a positive framework and atmosphere for learning through efforts directed toward students and teachers. Conducted at the Francis Junior High School in North-West Washington, D.C., Project Inspire aimed to improve academic achievement, attendance, and attitudes by means of a multi-faceted program emphasizing scheduled group sessions, improved communications, and attention to emerging adolescent needs. Included is: (1) a description of the project; (2) methods and procedures used (including instrumentation, sampling schedule of activities and data collection and analysis); (3) results and analysis of data; and (4) conclusions and recommendations. Findings are presented in terms of program objectives: increased positive feelings toward school, increased academic achievement, reduction of tardiness, absenteeism, dropout rate and critical classroom incidents, decreased use of suspensions, and decrease in punitive detentions.
