Evaluation of the 1986-87 ECIA Chapter II Teaching Enrichment Activities to Minorities Project.
Proller, Norman L.
The 1986-87 Teaching Enrichment Activities to Minorities (TEAM) Project provided special education to identified minority students who exhibited characteristics that might make them eligible for placement into an advanced academic program. The 1986-87 TEAM Project operated in 16 elementary schools and served approximately 550 pupils. An evaluation of the program revealed the following: (1) 12 of the 16 TEAM schools used the appropriate criteria for admitting students to the project, while four of the schools failed to do this; (2) all TEAM teachers developed appropriate lesson plans and instructional activities; (3) project students, taken as a group, achieved gains in their reading comprehension, mathematics computation, mathematics application Stanford Achievement Tests scores, and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test scores above and beyond those expected from spending a typical year in school; and (4) of the 56 TEAM pupils referred for admission to an advanced placement program, 28 had been tested and 21 had been accepted. Data are presented on six tables. A list of unofficial recommendations is appended. (BJV)
