Project GET SET, 1985-1986. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
This report evaluates the achievement of Project GET SET, a Bronx, New York, program designed to provide supportive and peer-tutorial services to Hispanic junior high school students for the following purposes: (1) to reinforce English language skills, especially reading and writing; (2) to reinforce native language arts skills; (3) to offer personal counseling services; and (4) to offer career guidance. Pupils from a local high school were used as tutors. Their services were to be offered to students as extra enrichment classes. The report describes the program, its participants, and staff. It discusses evaluation findings, draws conclusions and makes recommendations. Project GET SET began in 1983 with many funding, staffing, and site problems. The program survived, however, and results of student performance on tests for English proficiency in Spring 1986 showed that seventh graders made gains, but they were not statistically significant. The gains made by eighth- and ninth-grade students were large and statistically significant. Achievement in Spanish proficiency and career awareness could not be evaluated because tests were not given. It was recommended that the project director devote more time to visits on site and that career and guidance information be included in the program curriculum whenever possible. (PS)
