California Mini-Corps Annual Evaluation Report, 1976.
Rice, Joseph P.
During the 1975-76 academic year, the California Mini-Corps, a component of the California Plan for the Education of Migrant Children, consisted of a summer and a school-year Teacher Assistant Program, the Medi-Corps Paramedical Program, a Teacher Intern Program, and an Administrative Trainee Program. Methodological approaches used to directly evaluate these five components were student examinations, professional ratings of job performance, field observations, self-analysis and appraisal techniques, quantification and validation of job activities, follow-up studies, measurement of client benefit, and management studies and reports. In general, the Teacher Assistant Programs were the most highly successful. The Medi-Corps Program showed great improvement over the 1975 programs, i.e., workload relevancy, importance of supervisorial services, and growing excellence of the preservice workshop courses. The Intern and Trainee programs needed professional, full-time supervision, separate sets of performance objectives, and a readjustment of workloads to better reflect the aspirations and abilities of the graduate students. This report also includes the followup study of ethnic background, migrancy, and careers of former students; student academic profile for active students; and a summary of the recommendations. (NQ)
