Colorado Migrant Education Program. 1983-1984 Summary and Evaluation Report.
Burnes, Judy
During the 1983-1984 school year, 14 local migrant education projects conducted by Colorado school districts and Boards of Cooperative Services (BOCES) provided educational services to 1,151 migrant students, with 51% formerly migrant and 49% currently migrants. The number of eligible migrant children registered in school increased by 4%; the number of students receiving services dropped 23% due to improved coordination between the Migrant Program and other state and federal programs. Fifty-three percent of the students were from 5 to 9 years old. Approximately 40% of students served received instruction in a language other than English. Migrant projects provided/coordinated educational, health and social services for students; inservice training for staff; and activities to encourage parent involvement. Former students gained an average 3.8 Normal Curve Equivalents (NCEs) in reading and 5.4 NCEs in math. Fifteen migrant summer programs served 2,055 students. Recommendations included continued efforts to register all eligible migrant children; continued efforts to coordinate migrant programs and services with other programs, district staff and parents; improved technical support particularly in information gathering and record keeping; and continued assistance in reading. Figures displaying statistical information are included within narration. Appendix provides excerpts from the 1984 Migrant Health Report, Colorado Department of Health. (PM)
