The Career Opportunity Program Aide in the Minneapolis Public Schools, 1972-73.
McCormick, Tom
The Career Opportunities Program (COP) is a nationwide career training model to improve the learning of low-income children in poverty area schools by employing low-income community residents and Vietnam veterans as teacher aides, while they attend college in preparation for careers in education. Two questionnaires were used in this study. The first one, labeled an information sheet, was designed to obtain profile information about the COP participants in the Minneapolis Public Schools. The second questionnaire, designed to solicit opinions from the presently enrolled aides about the program and their role in it, was administered in May 1973. The responses of the aides were generally favorable, regardless of race, sex, or program experience. Almost 90 percent of the respondents said their college courses were useful in their job, and most of the aides felt they had a good working relationship with their supervisor and the project coordinators.
