Portland Public School System Implementation of an Experienced-Based Career Education Program. Final Evaluation Report.
Welsh, Phil
Student outcome objectives and process objectives were the focus of the Portland Experience Based Career Education (EBCE) project evaluation. The Portland EBCE project followed the EBCE model developed by the Appalachia Educational Laboratory (AEL), based on experiential learning with career and academic experiences in the community. A total of thirty-three sophomores, juniors, and seniors participated in the program during the 1976-77 school year. These students were pre- and posttested in the areas of basic academic skills, career development, and life skills. Process objectives were evaluated using document review and observation, interviews with students, staff and resource persons, and opinion and attitude questionnaires administered to parents and resource persons. All student outcome objectives were achieved as were all process objectives, and the majority of attitudes expressed toward the EBCE program were positive. (Appendixes provide survey results and support documentation relating to program efforts and plans.) (TA)
