Integrated Diverse Enrichment for Academic Learning (Project IDEAL). Final Evaluation Report 1993-94. OER Report.
Bruno, Paula
Integrated Diverse Enrichment for Academic Learning (Project IDEAL) was an Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII-funded project in its second year of operation in 1993-94 at Walton High School in the Bronx (New York). Project IDEAL served 174 students of limited English proficiency. Participants received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), and the content areas of mathematics, science, and social studies. Staff development, including tuition reimbursement, and parent participation components were included, although it was difficult to stimulate participation. Project IDEAL met its objectives in NLA, American culture and citizenship, cultural pride, attitude toward school, career advising and career options, dropout prevention, attendance, staff awareness of student needs, and parent involvement. Science and social studies objectives were met, but mathematics and ESL objectives were not. Recommendations for improvement include finding better ways to measure achievement and ways to motivate parent participation. Seven tables present evaluation findings. Four appendixes include a student essay, lists of instructional materials, class schedules, and the Likert scales used in the evaluation. (Author/SLD)
