Resource Sharing and Public Education. Project Evaluation Report.
Leton, Donald A.
Two exemplary projects developed to maximize student options through the sharing of facilities, programs, and options were evaluated. The Remedial-Developmental Program developed a communications network between McKinley and Roosevelt High Schools and Kapiolani Community College to share student information and use it for individual student followup. An Articulated School Alienation Program integrated the existing Hawaii Department of Education Special Motivation counseling services and appropriate academic courses at McKinley and Roosevelt High Schools with the vocational training program at the Employment Training Office in order to promote vocational exploration placements for alienated students. Analyses of scores of the Stanford TASK (Tests of Academic Skills and Knowledge) and Community College Placement Tests for Roosevelt and McKinley students did not confirm or disconfirm the need for remedial courses at the community college level. An evaluation of the Articulated School Alienation Program indicated that students received vocational exploration experiences in the Employment Training Facilities and practical career exploration experiences in community settings. The integration of career relevant skills (such as arithmetic skills) in the courses received favorable evaluation. All objectives of both projects were met or partially met. (Appendixes, amounting to approximately two-thirds of the report, include scattergrams of test results, correspondence, and evaluation instruments.) (YLB)
