Report on the IBI Interstate Training Project: A Program Funded through Section 143, Migrant Education Interstate and Intrastate Coordination Program.
McConnell, Beverly
The 1982-83 report on the Individualized Bilingual Instruction (IBI) Interstate Training Project evaluates Project activities in Washington and Texas, funded through Section 143 of the Migrant Education Interstate and Intrastate Coordination Program. The purpose of the Project is stated: to disseminate the Pasco (Washington) School District's method of training bilingual education migrant program staff. The first part of the report answers questions policy makers might ask in evaluating whether the project is fulfilling the Congressional mandate. The section indicates that the Project has provided a service to migrant children which would have been impossible without 143 funding; better utilization of resources has been achieved through coordination; coordinative planning has resulted in agencies served making a commitment to the Project and has taken place at nearly every level of involvement with migrant education; the project provided on-site inter/intrastate services; and services resulted in higher-quality programs for migrant children. The second part provides documentation on achievement of specific Project goals through June, 1983. Summaries indicate that 104 teachers/teaching aides and 14 supervisors were trained in 15 schools, which benefitted 938 children, and that after the IBI training model was introduced, gain scores by children in the program showed significant superiority in 9 out of 10 comparisons.
