Project GET SET, 1986-1987. OEA Evaluation Report.
Martinez, Ana L.; And Others
In its first extension year following a 3-year funding cycle, Project GET SET served 108 Bronx junior high school students with limited ability in both English and Spanish, in two schools located in economically depressed, predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. The project's major goals were to develop both English and Spanish language skills and provide counseling services and career information. Analysis of student achievement data and an examination of project records indicate that: (1) the English language development objective could not be assessed as proposed because of reporting problems; (2) the native language arts objective was surpassed; (3) the career awareness objective was surpassed; (4) the two parental involvement objectives, a proposed number of parent contacts, and a proposed number of workshops, were met; (5) attendance rates surpassed schoolwide rates at both sites, surpassing the objective; and (6) the proposed objectives for providing counseling and tutoring were not met because they were unrealistic for the level of staffing funded.(MSE)
