Title IV Indian Education Program Evaluation, 1985-86.
Albuquerque Public Schools, NM. Planning, Research and Accountability.
Public schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico, used a Title IV Part A grant to assist American Indian elementary and secondary school students in receiving passing grades and improving school-related behaviors. Canoncito Navajo Reservation, the Isleta Pueblo, and urban Indian students in Albuquerque participated in the program. Personnel consisted of a project coordinator, resource teacher, 39 tutors, and a secretary. Administration, evaluation, and training programs were centralized, while service delivery was adapted to each community's needs. Twenty-one Canoncito students in grades 6-12 exceeded program objectives in 7 school-related skill areas, while their parents met objectives for parent participation. The Isleta component served 51 middle school and 123 high school students; the urban component served 75 elementary school, 132 middle school, and 134 high school students. Both components met objectives of 50% of students maintaining/improving their grades and improving in eight school-related skill areas. Significant majorities of cooperating classroom teachers (Canoncito 90%, Isleta 76%, Urban 62%) indicated that students' success justified time spent on tutoring outside classrooms. A grant extension provided tutoring to 129 additional students during summer session. The program evaluation contains recommendations for improvement, tables summarizing program data, summary of responses to tutor questionnaire, and copies of reporting forms. (LFL)
