Evaluation of the Fort Gay-Thompson Urban/Rural Project.
Bertram, Charles L.; And Others
Purpose of the Fort Gay-Thompson Urban/Rural project was to combine the efforts of school and community persons so as to provide a more effective educational program for the west central section of Wayne County, West Virginia. To date, the school-community planning process had resulted in needs assessment and career education programs, considerable staff training, an FM radio station, a community newsletter, a community center, a recreation program, and numerous other activities implemented through the 21-member School Community Council (SCC). The evaluation was based on data collected through 143 objective-based questionnaires and 39 personal interviews. Respondents were selected teachers, school administrators, community members, members of the SCC, and students. Outstanding achievements were in the areas of inservice training, career education, and community education. The FM radio station, operated mostly by high school students, was rated a success by those interviewed. However, the respondents felt that there was still a lack of community involvement and general community awareness concerning the educational programs. Questionnaires and an interview schedule are appended. (Author/NQ)
