Boston's Title I Early Childhood/Jackson Mann Developmental Program is discussed in this interim evaluation report (1980-81). The purpose of the Early Childhood component, which serves about 1000 4-year-olds (kindergarten I) and 5-year-olds (kindergarten II) is to raise the level of educational achievement among children identified as needing special assistance. The children receive daily individualized or small group instruction from a Title I paraprofessional, as a supplement to class work, in the classroom setting. The Jackson-Mann component is a remediation program providing highly individualized instruction to 20 hearing-impaired 3- to 6-year-olds integrated with 30 children with normal hearing from the morning kindergarten classes. Major Jackson-Mann goals deal with development of communication skills, reading readiness, and motor and social skills. Curriculum and performance objectives, and administration/supervision objectives of the program were rated as satisfactory, although organization of the program needed improvement. Most communication objectives were regarded as satisfactory, though the communication of Title I goals and regulations to non-Title I staff was not. Inservice and orientation workshops were regarded as useful. Materials were a keynote of the program, with high satisfaction being expressed by all. Parent involvment was minimal. Everyone concerned with the program gave high ratings to the achievement of program objectives. (CMG)
