The 1975 Every Student Survey: The Background of Students in Special Education and New Canadian Programs. Research Report No. 141.
Gershman, Janis
Presented is the final report based on the 1975 Every Student Survey describing the demographic characteristics of about 13,000 students in the Toronto school system who are enrolled in the New Canadian and each of the 15 Special Education programs. The report describes the socio-economic background, mother tongue, country of birth, and family situation of the students. Also reported are the number of males and females in each program, the amount of time that students actually spend receiving special services, and relationships among the different background variables. Outlined are findings such as the following: generally, in special programs, males are over-represented; students from the lower socio-economic groups are over-represented; there are few immigrants; students are mainly English-speaking; and many of them come from one or no parent families. Results are presented in tabular form, and letters to the special education teachers and the survey form are appended. (Author/IM)
