Title I in Georgia. Annual Evaluation Report 1974-1975.
Moore, Sarah H.; White, Linda Anne
This is the annual evaluation report (1974-1975) for the Georgia Schools' Title I programs. Title I programming emphasis is increasingly oriented toward basic skills. In the programs evaluated, 99.5% of the total participating units of instructional activities were in preschool education, reading, and mathematics. For the first time, the local educational agencies (LEAs) were required to submit objective achievement information if they collected it. In addition, they were asked to rate the success of their project as they perceived it. These two kinds of evaluation information revealed that in the area of preschool education, 84.7% of the students both pre and post tested met or exceeded the objective, and 95.3% preschool projects were considered successful or very successful. In the area of reading, 53.2% of the students met or exceeded the objective, and 84.8% of reading projects were considered successful or very successful. In the area of mathematics, 65.4% of those students pre and post tested met or exceeded the objective, and 85.8% of mathematics projects were considered successful or very successful by LEA's. This shows a correlation between perceived success and actual success in terms of student achievement in these areas. In terms of objective type, two topped the list as most successful, the "involvement, interest" objective type, and the objective type concerned with "reducing discipline problems." The objective type judged to be least successful was the one concerned with "improving mental health". It was recommended that the Title I programs in Georgia be continued. (Author/AM)
