Evaluation of the 1983-84 ECIA, Chapter II LEGAL Project.
Proller, Norman L.
The Law Education Goals and Learnings (LEGAL) Project of the Dade County Public Schools was funded by the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act Chapter 2. It is an authorized elective course of study for students in grades seven through twelve which emphasizes criminal and civil law areas. This evaluation was conducted to determine: (1) whether the LEGAL Project experienced an increase in student and school participation; (2) whether LEGAL staff provided appropriate instructional support services to teachers and students; (3) whether personnel have undertaken efforts to increase the number of school administrators who are aware of the project; (4) whether LEGAL made available appropriate in-service training to all LEGAL teachers; and (5) whether the LEGAL Project maintained and/or enhanced the support it receives from local, state, and national organizations. The evaluation indicated positive results in all areas. Recommendations resulting from the study are that the project should continue to be supported; workshops and inservice training sessions should be conducted to increase awareness of project activities through presentations at secondary schools; and consideration should be given to expanding the LEGAL project to the elementary level. Appendices contain LEGAL teacher, resource personnel, and student questionnaires and documentation of Project activities. (DWH)
