This evaluation of a summer remedial education program found that a substantial number of clients demonstrated criterion-assessed growth. The 1989 Summer Academic Skills Achievement Program was funded by the Private Industry Council (PIC) of Franklin County (Ohio) through the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) to provide JTPA clients from Columbus high schools with the reading comprehension, language mechanics, and mathematics computation skills needed for entry-level employment. The 146.4-curriculum hour program also included job readiness skills. The Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CBTS) and an employment skills test were used as a pretests and posttests. Analysis of test scores and student demographic data yielded the following major findings: (1) on average, a client who attended the entire program increased the number of instructional objectives mastered by 25 percent; (2) overall, 58 percent of the clients demonstrated a gain of at least one grade level in at least one of the three curricular areas; (3) of the 117 participants, 75 percent were Black, 15 percent were White, 7 percent were Asian, and three clients had Spanish surnames; (4) 72 percent of the participants attended at least 34 of the 39 days of the remediation program; and (5) about 30.5 percent of the participants achieved the target employment test skills. The program did not include a control group for comparison purposes but relied on the pretest-posttest measures on the treatment group only. Statistical data are included on 18 tables. (FMW)
