Project COPE 1984-1985. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
Project COPE, in its second year of funding, offered basic skills instruction, career development, and pre-occupational training to 343 students of limited English proficiency in grades 9 through 12 at three sites in New York City. The students varied in native language skills, proficiency in English, and overall academic preparedness. The project's main goal was to provide supportive services to limited English proficient students who were also limited in their ability to read and write in their native languages. The evaluation findings for the 1984-85 academic year include the results of student performance on standardized and teacher-made tests, an examination of program materials and records, site visits, and interviews with program personnel. Objectives were met in English language development and student attendance. Data on native language development arts were not provided and the objective could not be assessed. Staff turnover and conflicts with other duties, and lack of adequate space at one site, negatively affected the program's success. The objective for mathematics, science, and social studies was achieved only in the spring at one project site. (MW)
