An Outline of the Goals, Objectives, and Activities of the Princeton Cooperative School Program.
Fiori, Clem, Ed.; Thomas, Earl P., Ed.
The Princeton Cooperative School Program (PCSP), an Upward Bound project at Princeton University, was initiated in 1964 and continued until October 1976. Program services were directed toward low-income, educationally disadvantaged, high potential adolescents, and the program's goal was to enlarge the pool of qualified, low-income, disadvantaged students accepted for admission to college. The 26-month period that the average student was involved with PCSP consisted of five program phases: (1) summer residence; (2) the junior academic year; (3) the second summer; (4) the second academic, or senior, year; and (5) the "bridge summer," or work-study. For each phase, program design and management, special services, and data concerning student participation are examined. Descriptions are given of selected courses. Appended are: statistical data, program and course evaluation forms and data, records of a sample course, and a sample reading list used. (MSE)
