Looking at Chapter 2: 1985-86.
Austin Independent School District, TX. Office of Research and Evaluation.
This report describes and evaluates nine Chapter 2-funded programs in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District. The major positive findings were the following: (1) disciplinary actions have decreased since the implementation of Project ASSIST (Assisting Special Students in Stress Times); (2) extra transportation has allowed some reassigned secondary students to participate in extracurricular activities; and (3) Outdoor Learning study trips have helped students develop social interaction skills and have complemented science and social studies units. In addition, the following problems were uncovered: (1) Project PLUS (Progress and Learning for Underachieving Students) participants showed gains that were below predicted levels in reading and mathematics; (2) the Writing to Read program did not provide instruction to students until the end of the school year; (3) Chapter 2 Formula-funded bus monitors did not actively supervise students on the secondary portion of the run, even though they were paid for this time; and (4) at four of the schools with Spanish as a Second Language, instruction did not begin until the second semester of the school year. A bibliography is appended. (PS)
