Michigan Early Childhood Education Preschool Program Product Evaluation Report, 1989-90.
Saginaw Public Schools, MI. Dept. of Evaluation Services.
Findings of the second product evaluation of the Saginaw, Michigan School District's state-funded prekindergarten program for at-risk 4-year-olds are reported. The Piaget-based program involves seven component areas: cognitive, psychomotor, affective, parent participation and education, curriculum, staff development, and community collaboration and participation. The major outcome question was: Did the program attain the 26 objectives it set out to accomplish? Data were collected on the Prekindergarteen Saginaw Objective Reference Test, the Affective Rating Scale, a Parents as Partners sheet, and existing records. The 1989-90 Chapter 1 prekindergarten program served 442 children at 16 elementary schools. Evaluation data indicated that in its second year of operation, the program was quite successful, with 21 of 26 objectives attained. Recommendations for program improvement are offered. Nine appendices provide related material. (RH)
