Cooperative Project in Native American Development. Product Evaluation Report, Title IV, Part A, 1976-77.
Quimper, Barry E.; And Others
Major objectives of the Cooperative Project in Native American Development during the 1976-77 school year were: development of 8 Michigan Woodland Indian Social Studies-Language Arts curriculum packages relevant to the needs of American Indian students (K-8) in 3 Michigan school districts; and development of a series of monthly cultural enrichment experiences to provide activities for some 47 students and their parents and to field test the curriculum packages. The curriculum packages were further evaluated via the locally developed Curriculum Quality Rating Scale and content analysis. The enrichment experiences were evaluated via review of the program director's records and the locally developed Cultural Program Evaluation Form. The evaluation, conducted by 3 evaluators and 1 specialist, indicated partial success in meeting program objectives (3 of the 8 packages were completed; all but 2 cultural experiences were completed; and 90% of the cultural enrichment participants responded positively to the questionnaire). Among the evaluators' 14 recommendations were: dissemination of the curriculum packages at county, state, and national levels; specific mastery criteria for some or all objectives in the 3 completed packages; development of an annotated bibliography for each reference material used; development of better relationships between curriculum activities and objectives; specification of basic materials and supplemental materials; more precise sequencing of objectives in the curriculum packages; and development of cross-referencing procedures for materials in each package.
