Annual Evaluation Report for the Arizona Migrant Education Program, 1975-1976.
Davis, Benjamin G.
During the 1975-76 school year, there were almost 8,000 migrant students enrolled in the regular school program and 1,300 in the summer program. Students received both academic and health services. Over 460 full-time equivalent staff persons were directly involved in project activities. All projects attempted to actively involve parents in their child's educational process, and had an ongoing plan for the dissemination of project information to enable the sharing of insights and knowledge. The program was a part of the educational process for over 400 students who graduated from school. Standardized tests which were used for both diagnostic and evaluative purposes indicated that one-third of 21 projects achieved at least a one-year average gain in reading ability and that high school level students as a whole performed significantly better. This report presents a description of the State's exemplary migrant education projects and gives information on enrollment, program content, project staff, information dissemination, parental involvement, and interprogram coordination. Data are also presented on the quantitative and qualitative impacts of the program, and on a comparison of the 1974-75 program with the 1975-76 program. The 1975-76 final report of the Arizona Migrant Child Educational Laboratory is appended. (NQ)
