Program Evaluation of Educational Programs. Wisconsin's Juvenile Corrections Schools at Lincoln Hills and Ethan Allen.
Wisconsin Univ. - Stout, Menomonie. Center for Vocational, Technical and Adult Education.
An evaluation was conducted of the educational programs and facilities at two male juvenile corrections schools in Wisconsin (Ethan Allen and Lincoln Hills). Surveys were developed in cooperation with administrative personnel at both schools and given to all students, instructors, and support staff. A total of 573 students, 76 teachers, and 140 support staff completed the surveys. Results were sent to the evaluation team members prior to an onsite evaluation visit. Following the school visit, evaluation team members shared observations and formed a consensus of conclusions and recommendations. Project staff synthesized the information and shared them with the steering committee for final approval. Major observations and conclusions from the surveys and school visits were as follows: (1) school staff demonstrate genuine concern and respect for students; (2) students experience success and personal growth; (3) many students receive high school equivalency diplomas; (4) successful student transition back into the community is a goal, but success is a concern because of the reduced length of stay; (5) both institutions are very overcrowded and lack facilities; and (6) vocational education needs support to keep pace with technological changes and give students employability skills needed to succeed in the workplace. (The report includes the survey instruments and responses.) (Author/KC)
