Miller, Ronald C.; And Others
The report documents the evaluation of a New York City program providing instruction in supplementary career education and daily living skills to students (N=335) residing in 11 institutions for the neglected and delinquent. The program objective was that 80% of the students would master 80% of their individual short-term objectives. Data analysis indicated that achievement fell slightly below the objective (78.1%). However, 72.5% of the students mastered all of their objectives and student achievement was positively correlated with attendance. Major strengths of the program were the individualized nature of activities, flexibility, and ongoing educational assessment and planning. Recommendations included: (1) continue to emphasize short-term individualized educational objectives; (2) continue to work with agency staff regarding attendance, student problems, and site-specific issues; (3) invite representatives from a wider range of occupations to speak to students; and (4) increase the number of field trips to local businesses to expose students to the day-to-day activities of various occupations.
