Parker, Jennifer
The Chapter 1, Part B, Institutional Facilities Program of the New York (New York) public schools was fully implemented in summer 1993, providing supplementary career education, academic remediation, and daily living skills instruction for approximately 500 students at 15 institutions for neglected and delinquent children. Eighty-two percent of the students mastered 80 percent or more of their individual short-term objectives, surpassing the program goal. Descriptive evaluation of the program indicates that most teachers emphasized individual instruction and included small group instruction. Teachers generally developed instruction to meet the individual needs and interests of students. Program strengths include cooperative and supportive staff, successful use of computers and software, specialized programming for students, and excellent rapport between teachers and students. No major program weaknesses were observed, although some improvements have been suggested, especially in the areas of improved planning and the use of computer resources. Seven tables present evaluation findings. (SLD)
