Guidebook: In-Camp Education for Migrant Farmworkers.
Lynch, Robert; Smith, Mona
An In-Camp Learning Program focuses on the specific needs of the out-of-school youth and adult migrant farmworker. Although its primary intent is that of education, the program addresses other areas such as health and social services. In 1976, New York's In-Camp Learning Program served 400 migrant farmworkers in 15 camps in the counties of Livingston, Northern Steuben, and Wyoming. These workers included mainly Southern black migrants as well as Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and whites. The program's major goal was to help these farmworkers master those tools of communication, thinking and self-direction that best help them make those decisions critical to their daily and future lives. This guidebook presents general guidelines for developing an In-Camp Learning Program; outlines the 1976 In-Camp Learning Program's basic educational needs, objectives, learning experiences, and evaluative procedures; summarizes the activities conducted at the various camps; discusses five teaching strategies used by the in-camp teachers and tutors, giving a sample lesson plan for each; and briefly describes various supportive services and programs. Appendices include a listing of the labor camps in New York, guidelines for personal conduct in working in the camps, listing of audiovisual equipment for in-camp use, a basic math inventory, program policies and procedures, a listing of the College Assistance Migrant Programs and the High School Equivalency Programs in the U.S., and copies of various forms used in the program.
