Evaluation of the 1992-93 City-as-School Replication Project. OREA Report.
Katz, Joan
City-as-School (CAS), founded in 1972, is a New York City alternative high school with a mission to link students to learning experiences outside the classroom. Since the 1985-86 school year, CAS has received federal funds for the CAS Replication Project, the goal of which is to promote and facilitate the adoption of the CAS model by other sites. In 1992-93, the Office of Educational Research, Evaluation, and Assessment (OREA) assisted in the preparation of the proposal for funding submitted by CAS and the city by providing data on student outcomes for comparison and treatment groups. The proposal is attached in its entirety as an appendix, and the evaluation is summarized briefly in this report. Revalidation of the CAS model by the Department of Education was accompanied by 27 adoptions or trainings for new programs, 27 awareness presentations about the program, 7 followup visits, and the publication of a project newsletter. OREA recommends that the replication project continue and that it should increase its emphasis on collection of data from replicator sites. Three figures and 12 tables present findings on the replications as part of the appendix. (SLD)
