During 1985-86 the School Community Education Program (also known as the Umbrella Program), funded by the New York State Legislature, provided a variety of educational and training experiences to some 25,871 participants, including pre-kindergarten children and their parents; and students, teachers and supervisors from kindergarten through grade 12. The program consists of 44 different projects designed to provide innovative solutions to local educational and school problems. The 1985-86 evaluation indicates that in general the program was successful: 38 projects met their stated objectives, and some were highly successful. Of the six projects that did not reach their objectives, five set stringent objective criteria that may have been beyond their grasp. Those projects that failed to meet their stated objective should be closely monitored to identify the reasons for failure. Evaluation reports for each project are presented in four volumes. Each report contains a brief project overview, describes the evaluation methodology, presents the findings, and offers recommendations for improvement. This document, Volume II, presents evaluation reports of the following projects on social, ethnic and environmental studies, and instruction on communication and the arts: (1) Education and Camping Opportunity through Learning Environment (E.C.O.L.E.); (2) Urban Environmental Program for Elementary School Pupils; (3) Snug Harbor Cultural Center--Across Four Bridges; (4) Wave Hill Urban Environmental Program; (5) Refocusing Attitudinal Perspectives (RAP); (6) Goddard-Riverside Environmental Education Program; (7) Ethnic Awareness Program; (8) Oral History Program; (9) Lenox Hill--Environmental Education Program; (10) The Museum Connection. Data are presented on 13 tables. Appendices include copies of program-developed assessment instruments. (BJV)
