Evaluation of the 1984-85 ECIA, Chapter II Legal Project.
Proller, Norman L.
The Legal Education Goals and Learning (LEGAL) project in the Dade County Public Schools, Florida, is an elective course for students in grades 7-12. Because extensive annual evaluations of this project since 1976 had been extremely favorable, the size and scope of the 1984-85 evaluation was reduced. It investigated the extent to which LEGAL achieved its primary goals in schools offering LEGAL courses for the first time. Ten social studies teachers and 10 percent of approximately 700 students enrolled in the new fall semester LEGAL courses were mailed questionnaires to obtain their views on LEGAL's support services, in-service training, and curriculum. Results showed that LEGAL teachers highly favored the provision of instructional support services. Among the students, 32 percent thought the quality of materials was better than that employed in other courses, 53 percent thought the quality was about the same, 49 percent indicated that the outside resources were also better. In regard to the provision of in-service training, 71 percent of the teachers believed they had received adequate training, though 86 percent wanted more training. The questionnaires, with results, are appended. (JAZ)
