Etobicoke Community Involvement Program Evaluation. Evaluation of a Secondary School Program Involving Students in Community and Social Service Activities.
Usher, Brian R.
The Community Involvement Program (CIP) carried out in a grade 12 class in each of three Etobicoke secondary schools in the Province of Ontario was evaluated. The data analyses at the end of the first year of the program indicated that the CIP had achieved its major objectives of: (1) increased knowledge of community and social agencies; (2) increased social and personal maturity; (3) enhanced academic self-concept and orientation to learning situations; and (4) increased clarification of vocational goals towards social service vocations. Interview and questionnaire data from parents, students, and agency personnel indicated that the program was well received and its continuation was supported with enthusiasm. Data gathered also supported the need for further effort, in the next year of the program, in refining both the in-school and agency sections of the program to achieve greater coordination between school and work experience, and a program with even greater educational value.
