School Community Education Program in New York City 1988-89. Volume III. OREA Evaluation Section Report.
Guerrero, Frank; Abbott, Lori
This third volume of a four-volume evaluation of the 1988-89 New York City School Community Education Program (also known as the Umbrella Program) comprises reports evaluating seven innovative staff development and five curriculum development projects. Evaluation sources included student preprogram and postprogram test outcomes, writing samples, teacher and student questionnaires, and the number of acceptances of participants into special high schools. Overall, the program was not as successful in meeting its stated objectives as in previous years. Each report contains a brief project overview, describes the research methodology, presents the findings, and provides recommendations for improvement. The following projects are evaluated: (1) Moving Ahead, designed to help inexperienced teachers improve their teaching skills; (2) Staff Development in Writing Instruction; (3) Adventures in Social Studies; (4) Reading Instructional Support Effort (RISE); (5) Arts in General Education (AGE); (6) Enrichment Program, K-9; (7) Mathematics Instructional Support Program; (8) Adventures in Science; (9) Early Childhood Language and Literacy Program; (10) Discovering Abilities and Improving Achievement; (11) Sum in One, designed to help teachers improve elementary education music instruction; and (12) Oral History Program for senior high school teachers. Statistical data are included on 12 tables. Each report also includes examples of evaluation instruments. (FMW)
