Anadarko Public Schools Title IV Part A, Indian Education Project "ACT" 1975-76 Project Evaluation.
Redcorn, Charles H.
Project ACT aims (1) to improve the class attendance of American Indian students, (2) to make students' school experience more relevant to life and work, (3) to assist Indian students to experience success in school by providing them with assistance relating to their academic programs, and (4) to provide supportive financial assistance to Indian students with special needs. This report presents information on how well these objectives were achieved during the 1975-76 school year. During the year, the project provided the students with work experience, and tutorial assistance in math, English, science, and history. Eight newsletters (400 issues of each) were mailed to parents with information on services available to them, how to use these services, the procedures for visiting the schools, and other matters such as the Title IV Election. Outside speakers were brought to discuss various careers and opportunities with the students. Although there was an overall drop in average number of days attended, the number of students counted was greater. Students participating in the project had a higher grade point average (GPA). With the improvement in GPA and the slight decrease in attendance and the job training, it was apparent that the Work-Experience Program helped to reach all four of the project's objectives. There was also an increase in Indian participation in school activities. This participation in school activities was shown to be a factor in improved attendance and grades. (NQ)
