ABSTRACT:
The report documents the evaluation of a New York City program providing instruction in supplementary career education and daily living skills
to students (N=335) residing in 11 institutions for the neglected and
delinquent. The program objective was that 80% of the students would master
80% of their individual short-term objectives. Data analysis indicated
that achievement fell slightly below the objective (78.1%). However, 72.5%
of the students mastered all of their objectives and student achievement
was positively correlated with attendance. Major strengths of the program
were the individualized nature of activities, flexibility, and ongoing
educational assessment and planning. Recommendations included: (1) continue
to emphasize short-term individualized educational objectives; (2) continue
to work with agency staff regarding attendance, student problems, and
site-specific issues; (3) invite representatives from a wider range of
occupations to speak to students; and (4) increase the number of field
trips to local businesses to expose students to the day-to-day activities
of various occupations. (DB)
