Title IV-A Indian Education Program Evaluation, 1984-85.
Johns, Jennifer S.
The Title IV-A Indian Education Program in Albuquerque, New Mexico, public schools met program objectives despite funding decreases, personnel cuts, and increased requests for remedial tutoring. Two tutors, a volunteer, and a counselor tutored 35 middle and high school students from the Navajo community of Canoncito to improve/maintain academic performance as measured by subject grades and teacher ratings of student progress. Although only 36% of grades remained the same/improved, teachers reported that 58% to 89% of the students improved in school-related skills. Four tutors and a counselor tutored 78 middle and high school students from Isleta Pueblo to improve academic performance. Fifty-five percent of tutored students' grades remained at passing level/improved. Teachers indicated 79% to 96% of the students made progress in school-related skills, attitudes, and behaviors. In the urban component, 49 tutors and support staff provided services to 735 grade K-12 students. Program objectives included improved academic performance and school-related skills as measured by Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills subtests, grades, and teacher ratings of student progress. Elementary students met objectives in eight of the nine areas evaluated; high school students met objectives in six of the nine areas. The report includes recommendations for program improvement. Seven tables further describe program results. (LFL)
