Abstract | This evaluation report describes and assesses a compensatory education delivery system in the school district of Saginaw, Michigan. Three reading and math programs, for selected grades between grade 1 and grade 9, had the following goals: (1) to provide intensive academic instruction to the educationally disadvantaged; (2) to involve parents in the program; (3) to supply students with incentives for academic improvement; (4) to operate staff inservice programs; (5) to measure academic growth; and (6) to prepare students to effectively meet the academic competition of the general classroom. The 1986-87 delivery system showed a decrease from the previous year in the percentage of participants who achieved grade level in reading. There was some improvement in the percentage who achieved grade level in math. The overall results remained strong. The following recommendations were made: (1) communications should be improved among all involved in compensatory education programs; (2) there must be more inservice activities; (3) there must be greater recognition and rewards for excellence for both students and teachers; (4) student testing and selection procedures must be improved; and (5) efforts must be made to reduce variations in the program between building sites. Statistical data are presented in four tables and three appendices. (VM) |
