The "I" Team Project: A Final Report. (An ESEA Title III Project.)
Brown, Don A.; And Others
This final report of the "I" Project for 1971-72 evaluates the general objectives of providing a responsive educational program for students who do not respond to usual secondary programs. The program was to be a model for creating positive attitude, behavior and skill changes. A basic skills laboratory, diagnostic procedures, individualized reading and math programs, minicourses, work experience, and field experience were part of the student-centered approach. Formal and informal measures were used to evaluate objectives: standardized tests measured reading and math; surveys marked attitudinal and behavior change. Test findings indicated gains in both reading and math. A positive change was observed in attitude and behavior. This alternative to secondary education was considered successful; continuation with minor changes was suggested. The appendix includes a Budget Summary, Student Attitude Surveys, Parent Response Questionnaires, and test Results. (KSM)
