Osicki, Kenneth J.
Detailing program activities of the Specialized Services for American Indian Children and Youth Program in the Cleveland Public Schools during the final quarter and summer sessions of 1976, this report presents the following: (1) Procedures (use of a coordinator, aides, a clerk, and a full time tutor working in conjunction with a parent committee to plan and organize tutorial services, provide cultural activities, job referral assistance, and consultation services to teachers and students); (2) Objectives (improvement of school/home communications; provision of tutoring services for students desiring special academic assistance; provision of a cultural class program for Indian students; development and maintenance of an information file on post secondary vocational and educational programs; provision of a referral service to identify sources of financial aid for post secondary education); (3) Program Results (demonstration of the viability of the project; an increase over previous years in the number of students and parents contacted--a 50% representation of the total Indian community; a lack of professionalism among the project staff, including tardiness, disregard for correct office procedures, poor record keeping, and a general disregard for appointments); (4) Recommendations (16 specific recommendations with particular emphasis upon project administration and accountability).
