1974-75 Evaluation of Project Components. Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I--Hawaii District. Report No. 146.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Social Welfare Development and Research Center.
Project components of the Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I in Hawaii are evaluated in this paper. The project components are the following: Reading resource rooms, tutorial projects, Hiloe reading clinic (preschools), and Alae Operation Live-In. The Peabody Individual Achievement Test is administered to each Title I pupil as a pre and post test measure of their achievement. The test of Expressive Language is administered to the pupils involved in the preschool projects. Among the findings are the following: The "umbrella" project concept implemented for the reading projects enables the Hawaii District Office to more efficiently coordinate activities in a variety of areas. Perhaps one of the most efficient and highly organized programs, the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), became involved in a number of activities including the surveying of all Title I parents within Hawaii County for program evaluation purposes. All of the projects show substantial academic gains among the enrolled pupils. The gains are significant and emphasize the point that all children, including identified low achievers, can learn to read when given adequate and appropriate instruction. Caution should be exercised, however, in interpreting the specific results of individual pupils and/or averages of the respective schools. (Author/AM)
