The summer 1987 high school Institute for Career Exploration (ICE) Program was a theme-based instructional program for incoming 9th and 10th grade students who were eligible for services provided by chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act, students with limited English proficiency, and special education students who recently entered high school. The ICE program primarily emphasized improving students' writing skills and exploring career possibilities, as well as helping students prepare for high school. During the 1987 program, 7,256 students attended classes at 35 sites. Eighty-four percent of the general education students for whom complete data were available improved from the pretest to the posttest, indicating that the program met one of its evaluation objectives. The other evaluation objective related to staff development training. Teachers were positive about on-site and centralized staff development activities, and over 80% believed that the sessions provided skill enhancement that would be transferable to instruction during the regular school year. This document presents an evaluation of the ICE program. Included in chapter I are discussions of the program background and structure, evaluation objectives, program evaluation, and the scope of this report. Chapter II discusses program implementation, focusing on staffing, site themes, student characteristics, staff development, and educational excursions. Student enrollment, attendance, and achievement are presented in chapter III and conclusions and recommendations are given in chapter IV. Program sites are listed in the appendix. (NB)
