Desegregation: ''Little Rock School District (LRSD) Desegregation Plan''

LRSD DESEGREGATION PLAN MAY 1, 1991CE-SD COMMITMENT TO DESEGREGATION IN THE LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT The Little Rock School District is committed to a comprehensive desegregation plan which focuses on the total learning environment. The method of assigning students is merely the first step toward creating school and classroom environments that foster academic achievement and improve race relations among students and staff members. The next step involves a commitment to quality desegregated education by the District, parents and the community. commitment always requires a plan of action. Of course, real To that end. the Little Rock School District Board of Directors is committed to the following: A. The belief that all children can learn B. The elimination of achievement disparity between blackZ^j^^^^ and white students on atandardigcd, norm-referenced criterion-referenced and minimum pogfoggancetests / C. Improving educational quality.and student academic performance in all schools and.doubling the financial resources in schools identified in the court-approved desegregation plan as enhanced/incentive schools D. Improving race relations among students and staff members E. Ensuring that equity occurs in all phases of school activities and operations (i.e. school, class and staff assignments
participation in extracurricular activities
distribution of resources
etc.) F. Promoting positive public reaction to desegregation G. The effective use of interdistrict and intradistrict recruitment strategies to meet the desegregation requirements in all schools and to avoid resegregation Re: 01517 Pag^l H. The development and infusion of multi-ethnic cultural education in all content areas of the curriculum. I. Ongoing staff development activities to equip teachers, administrators, and other staff with the skills needed to achieve quality desegregated education In summary, the Little Rock School District Board of Directors is committed to having quality desegregated education in all schools duringthe- 1090-0 0 ochool year and yeara -to-eeBte. Quality desegregated education will result in long-term stability and growth for the city of Little Rock and Pulaski County. It will alao also will provide all Little Rock School District students with the academic and social skills needed for successful experiences in the future. The Little Rock School District Board of Directors hereby acknowledges its commitment to quality desegregated education and respectfully invites parents and community leaders to make the same commitment. Such a commitment has to occur in order to ensure stability in our schools and ultimately achieve unitary status. Re: 01517, 01518 Page 2LEADERSHIP Central to any school desegregation plan should be a clear focus and understanding of the kinds of goals to be achieved. It is insufficient to establish as a goal the physical movement of bodies and the rearrangement of boundary lines so that students can be brought together in ways that provide different racial distributions in different settings. The mere physical movement of children does little to guarantee any changes in the quality of education
in school achievement patterns
in interpersonal relationships
or in the variety of patterns of ethnic plurality, youngsters. No plan should settle for the mere mixing of The plan should have as its primaxry focus an educational environment encouraging academic and human growth for all students based upon their individual needs and talents. A vital factor in successful school desegregation is clear, coherent, and consistent leadership for change from the Ssuperintendent and Board of Directors. The <Ssuperintendent together with the Board of Directors must set specific guidelines for behavior from their subordinates, and model that behavior for the community. .The Board of Directors and the Ssuperintendent will assert their leadership in the following: o School boards should reflect represent the multi-ethnic backgrounds of the population that they serve. o The school board and superintendent ire-are responsible for providing equitable and direct means for keeping the local citizenry informed about the schools and for keeping self and the staff informed about the needs and wishes of community. o The school board and the superintendent will clearly delineate -artethe District's desegregation mission to the staff and to the community. o The school board and superintendent will utilize the desegregation mission as a guide for the development of policies and will set expectations for the superintendent to implement the policies. o The school board will expect the administrative staff to provide structured, clearly articulated leadership and modeled behavior for an effective desegregated school setting. Re: 01519o The superintendent and school board must examine the racial makeup of all categories of employees including the administrative, teaching and support staff so that future recruitment and placement of persons to fill positions will be done on an equitable basis. o The school board and superintendent will adopt a budget which will provide the resources necessary for an effective, desegregated school system. Budgetary decisions will be consistent with dDistrict desegregation policies in terms of buildings, staff, materials and equipment. c The school board and staff will be involved in ongoing staff development to better respond to the needs of a desegregated school system. o The school board and administration will conduct an annual, self evaluation of ita their commitment to a quality desegregated education in the following areas: Board/Superintendent Relations .Board/Community Relations Board Member Interrelations Board/Administration Relations to Other Staff Members Board/Administration Relations in -fFiscal Management Board Relations to Instructional Programs As the plan for desegregation and ultimately unitary status for the Little Rock School District is evolving, the Ssuperintendent and the Board of Directors will -iensure the restructuring of the school system so that all vestiges of discrimination, segregation, or unfair treatment have been eliminated. Further, the District will iensure that the schools and learning experiences throughout the school system are organized so that school practices, policies and procedures prevent unfair treatment or denial of opportunity for any child because of his or her race, culture, religion or economic status. Re: 01519, 01520 Page 4EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION When they enter school, children who are economically disadvantaged and who are members of a minority racial or ethnic group are less likely to perform as well as their middle-class peers. The economically disadvantaged and minority children have not developed the skills, habits, and attitudes to the extent expected in the primary school years. The lack of developmental and educational experiences is often evidenced by low scores on tests of intellectual and scholastic ability, which can result in unnecessary placement in special education, retention in grade, low scholastic achievement, and, eventually, dropping out of high school. Poor children who attend good preschool child development programs become better prepared for kindergarten and the primary grades. In addition, preschool programs hold the potential for greater academic achievement, less at-risk behavior in the teen years, and enhanced educational opportunity for all children regardless of economic background. The National Governor's Association has identified preschool education as the key investment in education for state governments. The greatest hope for change in the lives of children in need is through the investment at the beginning of the formal education process. Since the pioneering studies of Re: 01521 Page 5Benjamin Bloom on the need for education for 3- and 4-year- olds, additional studies have continued to document the academic and social success of those who have been involved in early education programs. The 1986 findings of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation verify that successful early childhood programs affect children's later success in school. This research links student achievement in high school and beyond with the home and school as powerful influences on the intellectual development of young children. Today, enrollment in pre-primary programs (i.e., public and private programs, prior to entry in grade one) is at an all-time high and expected to increase during the 1990's. According to Department of Education estimates, nearly 6.5 million children are enrolled in pre-primary programs today. with an estimated 4 four million enrolled in public schools programs. Although there have been significant enrollment increases, a large number of children still need access to preschool programs, particularly those children from low-income families. The Children's Defense Fund (1987) reports that Head Start currently serves only 16 percent of the 2.5 million children who need early childhood education services. This lack of affordable programming leaves over 2- two million children of the nation's most disadvantaged children unserved. In Pulaski County (Arkansas), the Head Re: 01521, 01522 Page 6start and City of Little Rock Early Childhood Programs serve a small percentage of the eligible disadvantaged-
and- at the present time,no-ptib-lic school funds are being used to implement'-early ohildhood programs. Poverty continues to be a problem for young children: Twenty-five percent of all 4- and 5-year-olds today are poor (Children's Defense Fund, 1987). One in six of all 4- and 5-year-olds today lives in a family where neither parent has a job (Children's Defense Fund, 1987). Poor children are only half as likely to be enrolled in preschool programs as children from affluent families (Children's Defense Fund, 1987). Current national and local social, demographic, and economic trends tell us that today's lack of accessible early childhood programs will become even more severe. especially for the poor, and the need for programs will continue to rise for all socioeconomic levels. Little Rock School District proposes the expansion of existing early childhood programs and the development of new ones to meet the needs of at-risk students and to remediate racial achievement disparities. These programs will have three components: il. HIPPY The Home Instructional Program for Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) 4- and 5-year olds) will focus initially on children in families who Re: 01522, 01523 Page 7live in the ahadow attendance zones of the eurront yaeially identifiable incentive schools in the Little Rock School District. This home-based program, which complements the school-based program operative in the schools, recognizes the mother as the first significant teacher of the child. eix. FOUR-YEAR-OLD INCENTIVE SCHOOLS PROGRAM The to' ' High/Scope District's preschool curriculum model 1^ will be implemented in three of the lincontive all incentive schools and other selected Sschools in a, (h' lu'^ the Little Rock School District. Effective the 1900-00 1990-91 Sschool year, this model will be an integral part of the effort to improve the academic achievement of minority and economically disadvantaged children and to attract white students to the schools. 3-III.

Re: 01523, 01524 Page 8 (NOTE: This section was moved) HOME INSTRUCTION- PROGRAM FOR PRESCHOOL YOUNGSTERG (HIPPY) i-r Program/Agca Ovearview A. Summagy of Background-Information OVERVIEW During the fall of 1986, the Little Rock School District implemented the Home Instruction Program to serve educationally-disadvantaged children in the community where high-risk children were identified. Developed at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, by Dr. Avima Lombard, this international program identified parents (primarily mothers) as the first teacher of their children. The specifically-designed curriculum of the home-based program trains aides (mothers) from the target community to instruct mothers of four- and five-year-old children in teaching their children at home. This program has proven to be a successful model in Israel, with evaluation results showing that participants were less likely to repeat grades, less likely to be identified as needing special education, less likely to drop out of school, and were overall successful school pupils. St Special Necda(Indiv-idual Distgict) Although enrollment has increased in early childhood programs, the needs of many children of low- income and minority families are not being met. The Re: 01525 Page 9cX" Little Rock School District HIPPY Program depends on external funding sources. The HIPPY Program cannot be continued at present levels without the continued 0^ receipt of JTPA and Chapter 2 funds. iiB. Areas of Collaboration The home-based program and the four-year-old school-based program will collaborate in the areas of parental involvement and teacher training. The Little Rock School and Pulaski County School Districts will collaborate and coordinate the on-going implementation of the HIPPY Program. iiiC. .Evaluation and Monitoring -(T-yoeeaa and Respens-i-b-i-l-ity) Evaluation using the Early Prevention of School Failure or a similar model, will be conducted on the not rp-SF , 'tHtn HIPPY participants as they enter and exit kindergarten aooaion (Pro and Boot teat). A standardized achievement test will be given to each child at the end of the third grade level. These tests will provide data indicating the success of the HIPPY Program as an early childhood intervention strategy. Re: 01525, 01526 Page 10(NOTE
This section was moved. HIPPY timeline moved.) FOURYEAR-OLD INCEN-TIVE SCHOOL PROGRAM Ft PROGRAM/AREA OVERVIEW A. Summary of Background Information OVERVIEW Four-Year-Old Program A fFour-year-old school-based program was implemented during the fall of 1938. The High/Scope Program curriculum, or a similar curriculum, forms the core of the four-year-old program. A fundamental premise of the Hi-gh/Seopo curriculum is that children are active learners who learn best from activities they plan and carry out themselves. Children learn by the scientific method of observation and inference, at a level of sophistication corresponding to their .V\CK' n, * development. Precepts of High/Scope-have been validated in a 20-yea-ff-longitudinal research project, as reported in the-High/Soopc moneeya-ph-.- Chang-inef a' Lives Tho-Sf foG-tS' f the Perry- Freoehool Program Yeuth Through Age 19-t The High/Scope curriculum complements the home-based curriculum of the Home Instruction program. Bt Speeiral' Needs Educationally-disadvantaged and lower socioeconomic children often enter the formal education setting without the prerequisite skills and experiences needed for academic success. Although usually highly Re: 01530, 01531 Page 11motivated, these youngsters must be provided additional learning time and structured experiences to enable them to develop their potential. Research and pre-kindergarten program practices have demonstrated that early education experiences can increase the opportunity for success and also increase the self-concept of participants. AREAS OF COLLABORATION The Little Rock School District and the Pulaski County Special School District will collaborate on parental involvement, inservice and training for teachers and aides. Each district is committed to ensuring that all staff members are prepared to fulfill the District's expectations for a quality Early Childhood Education Program. III. EXPECTED OUTCOMES The Higl^SGopG key expegiencos** provide^-ar-tiaeful fgaiBGwogk that curriculum provides a useful framework to guides teachers in conducting the classroom program. Theac key Kev experiences help the teacher encourage and extend children's self-chosen activities by providing developmentally appropriate learning experiences to develop each child's ability to: 1. make choices and decisions about what to do and how to do it, using his or her own time and energy effectively. Re: 01531 Page 122. identify, pursue, and complete self-chosen goals and tasks with originality and responsibility. 3. work with other children and adults in group planningr and cooperative efforts
- and with shared leadership. 4. express thoughts, ideas, and feelings
to speak about, dramatize, and graphically represent experiences in order to communicate them to others. 5. comprehend others' spoken, written, dramatic, and graphic representations. 6. apply his or her reasoning abilities to a wide range of situations using a variety of materials. 7. .expand knowledge of objects, skill in the arts, and comfort with physical movement. 8. expand creativity, initiative, spirit of inquiry. and openness to knowledge and other people's viewpoints. iVD. EVALUATION Ai. Information from inservice evaluations will be summarized. Si. Teat dat Student assessment data will be analyzed to determine if measurable growth in student achievement has occurred. Re
01532 Page 133. The iRG Planning, Research and Evaluation staff will assist with analysis of summative evaluation data. 4 . The management information system developed by LRSD will have the capability to compare students VC. who did and did not participate in the four-vear- old program. These comparisons will begin at the end of the kindergarten year of each class of four-year old-students. STRATEGIES EXPECTED OUTCOMES During the 1988-89 school year, the Four-Year-Old Program was implemented in three iincentive Sschools.

Re: 01539 Page 19CITYWIDE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAM The citywide early childhood education program will address three obiectiyes
fl) to proyjde parenting 560^0 h THi education for the parents of early childhood students
f2) to proyjde guality childcare arrangements for low-income parents which stress social deyelopment and school readiness
and f3) to proyjde a guality pre-school program for disadvantaged students. The Little Rock School District currently operates early childhood programs in seven buildings. Plans are underway to open four additional sites in 1991-92. Several Head Start centers are presently in ^operation within the boundaries of the Little Rock School District. The Head Start program is administered by COPE of Pulaski County and additional centers are expected to open. The City of Little Rock Model Cities program has two early childhood centers. The purpose of the citvwide early childhood education program is to combine the efforts of these three entities. along with other entities that may emerge in the future, to provide guality early childhood experiences to as many disadvantaged students in the citv of Little Rock as possible. Research clearly indicates that effective early intervention is one of the best strategies to combat academic achievement disparity and the poor academic performance of minority students. In addressing the Re: 01536-9 Page 20 16 zpfW i c a CoofUAOtc a. fti' 5ob-iectives of the citwide early childhood education procram, the three entities cited in this section have attempted to avoid duplication of services, to the extent possible, and use every opportunity possible to share resources. The following is a brief summary of each of the three programs: Head Start Program A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. Children must meet eligibility reguirements Training provided for parents Medical, social, and health services provided Mandated to involve parents in decision-making (Policy Control) Teachers are not reguired to be certified or have decrees Serves three- and four-vear-old students Three centers in boundaries of LRSD - old King School, Highland Court, and Hollingsworth Court Staff development throughout the year Uses aides Model Cities Program A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. Teachers are reguired to have degrees Teachers have participated in PET and EPSF training Two sites - East Little Rock Community Center Complex and South Little Rock Recreation Center For working parents only Not reguired to have parent involvement - parent involvement program held twice a year Site used bv LRSD HIPPY program for staff training No plans for expansion Uses assistant teachers Little Rock School District A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. Teachers must be certified Seven sites in 1990-91 school year Must comply with desegregation reguirements Rockefeller is the only school with pre-four year old students Parent involvement program Ongoing staff development Plans for expansion in 1991-92 Uses aides Re: 01536-9 Page 21In regard to the three objectives cited earlier, the three entities have agreed to the following: Parent Involvement - The entities will exchange calendars for parent involvement activities. To the extent possible, these activities will be available to parents outside of the sponsor's program. The entities will share resources in publicizing these activities. For instance, the Little Rock School District has a cable channel that can be used to announce activities to the public. Districtwide and school newsletters are sent to parents on a regular basis. Likewise, the Model Cities program has access to a cable television station. Staff Development - The entities will exchange calendars for staff development activities and, to the extent possible. the sponsor of the staff development activity will allow representatives from other parties to participate. Considerable collaboration is expected to occur between the Little Rock School District and Head Start since both programs currently use the same curriculum. The staff development activities will be geared to the needs of aides as well as teachers. Student Referrals - The early childhood programs will use a student referral system. This system will allow parents on a waiting list for one program to know about vacancies in another early childhood program. Representatives from each Re: 01536-9 Page 22program will meet as needed to review vacancies and identify referrals. Student Assignment Process - The three entities recognize the need for disadvantaged parents to understand the assignment process for kindergarten in the Little Rock School District. In the past, disadvantaged parents have not taken advantage of the kindergarten pre-registration opportunities that are available. Traditionally, these parents wait until mid-August or after the opening of school to register their children. A representative from the Little Rock School District Student Assignment Office will .meet each year with parents from both programs to review the .kindergarten assignment process. .In,addition to neglecting kindergarten registration, it , -is apparent that some disadvantaged parents are not taking advantage of magnet school opportunities in their neighborhoods, The annual sessions on kindergarten registration will also be used to provide information on magnet school opportunities. Long-Term Monitoring - the real success of any early childhood program depends on the long-term effects of pre- school intervention efforts. It is important that early childhood agencies have some means of following the progress of their clients during the early years of regular schooling. Beginning in the 1990-91 school year, a list will be compiled of all graduates from the three early Re
01536-9 Page 23childhood oroorams. These students will be identified in the Little Rock School District mainframe computer system according to their respective programs. At the end of each 'tai Id I yea for grades K-3, these students will be monitored on the basis of standardized tests, criterion-reference tests, EPSF screening, or any other academic measures that are available and applicable. The entities will review these results on an annual basis, prior to the beginning of the following school year, and make programmatic changes, individually and collectively, as needed. These students will be compared to a control group in order to isolate the effectiveness and/or deficiencies of the various early childhood programs. Facilities - The largest Head Start center is located in a ilding owned by the Little Rock School District. The 'le Rock School District anticipates the abandonment of additional buildings in the future. If this occurs. additional lease arrangements with Head Start will be explored. The parties will continue to share facilities for training programs, recreational activities, etc. Re: 01536-9 Page 24ROCKEFELLER EARLY CHILDHOOD MAGNET SCHOOL The Rockefeller Early Childhood Magnet Program will be available to children from ages six weeks to four years old. The program will serve as a model for improving the academic achievement of disadvantaged students and attracting students to comply with desegregation reguirements. All students will be assigned bv the Little Rock School District Student Assignment Office. Little Rock School District's Rockefeller Elementary School is considered separately because it provides a unigue opportunity to explore and develop excellent earlv childhood education service to children and parents, models of early childhood education programs, and training opportunities. with a physical plant built to house the continuation of the Kramer Project begun in the late 1960's. Rockefeller contains the only early childhood education program in Pulaski County providing complete continuity of education and childcare ("educare") from earlv infancy through grade SIX. Parent devotion to the program is almost legendary with at least one family having had children enrolled in the program for 16 consecutive years. The following will apply to the earlv childhood education program at Rockefeller School
1. Capitalize upon the school's high gualitv early childhood education as a desegregation tool. Coupled with the school's other excellent programs, earlv childhood education can help to achieve racial balance bv attracting white children as well as bv helping any disadvantaged children achieve an eguitable education. Parents Page 25have noted that the early childhood education program at Rockefeller is presently more racially integrated than the school's elementary grades. 2 . Designate Rockefeller as a Cooperative Early Childhood Education Demonstration Magnet between UALR and other area colleges, and the Little Rock School District. As a demonstration center. Rockefeller will be used for training college students as well as for inservice observation and training for the county's teachers, administrators, aides, HIPPY, and daycare program workers. Special emphasis will be given to developing and piloting innovative approaches to the education of young children. Parents and educational professionals from UALR and other area colleges will advise the Rockefeller and Little Rock School District staffs on all aspects of planning and implementation of the early childhood program. 3 . Include the earlv childhood education program at Rockefeller as an integral mart of the whole school, and not a separate or II add-on" program. It must receive the same attention as to supervision, support, staff development. resource allotment, accountability, monitoring, and evaluation as grades K through ix. 4 . Allow the early childhood education three-year- old students to continue on into the school's four-vear-old program, kindergarten, and beyond. 5. 6. Siblings of early childhood education students will be allowed to attend Rockefeller (sibling preference) in order to help retain children in the school. Explore developing Rockefeller as a year-round, full day school for children from infancy through sixth grade, working with a biracial group of parents, teachers, administrators, and experts from area colleges and universities to assess the desirability and feasibility of such a program, j year-round program will promote continuity of services to children, alleviate the learning losses' often experienced by young students over the long three-month summer vacation, and provide opportunities for enrichment not ordinarily included in the regular nine-month school year. A 7 . Re-evaluate Rockefeller's early childhood education policies in terms of their impact on desegregation and educational goals. In order for early childhood education to serve as a viable Page 26desegregation tool at Rockefeller, to remain competitive with private schools and daycares, and to hold both its private paving and Title XX students, early childhood education policies on private pay rates, lunch charges, vacation days, enrollment age, and sick days for long illnesses must be evaluated by the parent committee on early childhood education. The early childhood education curriculum and daily actiyities will be based upon young children's interests and styles of learning, emphasize deyelopmentally appropriate learning, and appeal to children's sense of curiosity and eagerness in order to help them experience the ioy of learning. There will be a full spectrum of activities to stimulate children at various levels of development. The curriculum will be multicultural in focus and sensitive to the cultural and ethnic heritages of children. LRSD will work cooperatively with local colleges and universities to enhance and support the Rockefeller Early Childhood Magnet Program. Page 27AREA I Early Childhood Education OlUECriVES 1.

Re: 01542 Page 37 Little Rock School District/Arkansas Power and Light Company Slimmer Science InstituteThis is a one-week summer enrichment program which provides science activities and experiences designed to generate an interest in the study of science. The Little Rock School District recognizes the need to expand educational opportunities for all of its students. Business, civic, professionals, and other organizations will be an ongoing resource for special programs that are designed to provide remediation and motivationa :ivation^ OiAMjc-fniwipnani experiences. LRSD and the Joshua Intervenors are now will involved in discussions with representatives of various business organizations in order to secure summer jobs for LRSD students who will participate in a summer program which will combine academics and job opportunities. Re: 01542, 10143 Page 38SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAM I. Overview The Job Training Partnership Act/Summer Learning Program was initiated during the summer of 1987 to provide educational assessment and remediation in the areas of reading and mathematics for youth employed for the Summer Youth Employment Training Program. Students assessed as deficient in either area are required to participate in a six-week half-day summer tutorial program that has the following characteristics: 1. A small class size with a pupil-teacher ratio of 12:1 and certified math and reading teachers. 2. Counseling services provided through two (2) JTPA counselors. 3. Motivational and enrichment sessions conducted on a weekly basis. 4. Computer-assisted instruction with atate-of-the cHTt-appropriate software in reading and mathematics skills. -'Ww. 5. Positive interactions between teachers and -fKthi * students with high expectations for student academic performances and behavior. To meet the needs of underachieving students (ages 14- 21) the Summer Learning Program should be expanded to Re: 01544 Page 39r^i increase the number of student participants. If not filled by those students who are JTPA eligible, participant slots should be allotted tcj any studen' in the Little Rock School District who is having difficulty in reading or mathematics. All classroom participant siots should be filled in both the morning and afternoon s sions wit
teeth JTPA I* certifigd'^aft^-nonj^cGrt^g^^ participan^ cuf" 4^4^ The counseling staff should be increased by two one Jfftl Wlu JKI 9W*v'!i0t male and one female. In addition, a psychologist would be ontracted to assist those students who are having serious problems. College students will be hired as instructional assistants, with one (1) assistant available for each teacher and three (3) clerical aides will be added to the program. The college-age instructional assistants must be returning students or twelfth grade graduates who are college bound. This program model has demonstrated its potential for increasing student performance level-a by four (4)o-3?-fiv^^ f53grade levcla ao aeaauged by the Teat of Adult Basic Mi Education(TABE). A significant factor has been the Id 1^7, - ^Av^lU at**! utilization of highly motivated, competent, and caring staff members. This program model has been effective because all 04'X components have been carefully blended. 04IX uihA(- Re: 01544, 01545 Page 40 I II. Goals By the year 1993-94, the number of Summer Learning Program participants will increase to 350 students who will show significant growth gains as a result of their participation. Hi-!Evaluation and' M&n-itog-ing(-Processand Responsibility) VWK ihe Pprex and post^test results from the Test of Adult Bao'io- Education will be used to assess student gains. Follow-up data will be used to determine the transfer effects of the program. G .Programs and individual components will be continued only if JTPA funding is available. Re: 01545 Page 41 ASSET PROGRAM I. Overview Initiated during the 1986-87 school year, the Job Training Partnership Act/After School Special Enrichment Tutorial Program (JTPA/ASSET) provides educational support services to junior high school youngsters who need assistance beyond what is available during the regular school day. Participants meet individually and in small group sessions to receive concentrated assistance in reading and mathematics. Peer tutors who are JTPA certified (lower socio-economic youth) work under the supervision of certified teachers. A motivation component is integrated into the instructional model. Well-planned instructional activities are complemented with a variety of multiethnic and audio visual materials. During the 1988-89 school year, the program activities will be implemented at four (4) junior high schools. The program model has been revised to include more non-certified students to participate. However, a significant number of students (grades 7-9) in need of academic skills improvement will not have the opportunity to participate. To be totally successful in preventing its marginal students from becoming dropouts and in increasing the academic and social skills of every "at risk" secondary student in the District, the program should be expanded to address the following needs: Re: 01547, 01548 Page 43 1. three existing junior high populations are not receiving remedial assistance
2. the location of the remediation sites prevents access by some students to the services
3. the "at risk" students need life-coping and life- planning skills essential for success
4. the "at risk" populations is not restricted to students only in grades seven, eight, and nine. but "at risk" students in grades ten, eleven, and twelve are not receiving the needed services
5. the lack of wide-spread parental involvement in the program prevents the occurrence of the critically needed home reinforcement. II. Goals By the end of the 1993-94 school year, the JTPA/ASSET Program is expected to achieve the following
The services of the program will be available to all "at risk" junior high populations. The program will be offered at sites easily accessible for students needing the services. Students involved in the program will demonstrate improvement in academic achievement as evidenced by standardized test scores and grade reports. Participating students will demonstrate an increase in self-concept, school/social adjustment, and goal orientation. Re: 01548, 01549 Page 44The services of the program will be available through easily accessible sites to "at risk" high school students. Students participating in the program will receive needed reinforcement at home through increased parental involvement. The degree of "risk" low academic achievement, high absenteeism, poor self-concept, lack of goal orientation. and low motivation for all participating students will be reduced. The on-the-job training received by the economically disadvantaged tutors will improve their academic achievements, self-concept, and goal focus, and thus. increase their opportunities for future employment. III. Evaluation and Monitoring The activities of the JTPA/ASSET Program, will be monitored by the District's Office of JTPA/ASSET Program and the Division of Curriculum and Instruction, and yearly evaluation of the Program will be made, using the following data: A. The number of identified "at-risk" students grades 7-12, needing the services compared to the number participating
B. Standardized test results of the participating students
C. Academic performance in regular classrooms according to nine-weeks grade reports
Re: 01549, 01550 Page 45D. Absentee records from the home schools of participating students
E. Number of school drop-outs
F. Follow-up reports concerning employment and educational activities of participating students who exit the program
G. The number of parents involved in parental/home reinforcement activities. Programs and individual components will be continued only if JTPA funding is available. 1 CrtOfTwiim' - ivri Page 46p Uiwtl FIm IM 1990 *tra Toalt y^*<*'^7*yOu^^CTrT7? h"9 pr " r><9 **< OtvIsiM JIfA . $l0f Froprev/Arob Stanwr laarninp OpporluntfTFC )* OBJCCTIVCS STRAnCICS/ ACTIVITKS USIMIM MTK (winiM Mra COSTS usMHiaiLin CVALIMTION 1. to lad all (Iu4atl batwaaa Iha atat of 14 - fl tkat are fartirie4 kr Ike CItr JIFA I.
