The 1975-76 Hartford Project Concern Program marks the end of a decade in which Hartford and suburban communities have participated in a voluntary busing program aimed at enriching the educational opportunities of both urban and suburban youth. In May 1976, the Capitol Region Education Council received a grant from the Connecticut State Department of Education to implement a design for the evaluation of the 1975-76 Hartford Project Concern Program. Due to budgetary and time constraints, it was decided to focus upon two crucial areas, the cognitive and affective impact of Project Concern on program participants. A basic decision was made to evaluate student cognitive growth using a standardized commercially available reading test. It was further decided that the affective impact of Project Concern would be evaluated through a survey of the attitudes of students, suburban teachers, and suburban parents using questionnaires.
