Attention was part::..c...1larly focused en programs ir.i tiated in the past\n:en years. ':'~.e purpose of the review was to validate the seven ~ey variables presented by the Magnet Review Committee (MRC) as descri~\n::ors of the int.er-dist.rice Magnet School Program of Pulaski c~unty. This review process sought to establish bot.h the viabili\n::y of the descript.ors and their complet.eness. ~he evaluat.ion team ut.ilized information gained from t.he research literature to establish sources for more in-depth informat.ion. Telephone contacts were made with representatives from what were apparently the most successful magnet school programs in the United States. The selected programs are located in St. I...ouis, Mo.\nRockville, Md.\nHouston, Tx.\nDallas, Tx.\nand Kansas City, Mo. The evaluation team utilizing information accruing from these sources concluded that the seven key variables presented by the MRC, i.e., Philosophy, Policy and Practices\nParent and community Involvement\nResource Allocation\nStaffing and Leadership\nInstruction\nProgram and Student Outcome were both valid and complete when utilized to define the dimensions of a successful magnet school program. Based on this judgment, the evaluation team utilized these key variables as category components to develop the evaluation instrument. 6 -:':-.e evaL.1at.ion t.eam idenc.:.:ied t.hree S:)ec.:.:.:..::: populat::.::::-.s or groups from which t.o solicit: .:.n:or~at:.cn regar~:.~g t.he magnet sc::col pro\u0026lt;\nra.'TL.

The operat.ional defi:::.t:ion for each variable was stated in the following ter-ms: Philosophy, Policies, and Praccices: I know and understand the policies that govern this school, the procedures that are ut.ilized to iillplement these policies, and the thrust. of the magnet. focus of this school. II. Educational Program: I feel the instructional program has sufficient. depth and breadth to provide a strong foundation in the basic skills while adequately addressing the ident.ified magnet theme and teaching studencs to funct.ion effectively in a racially-integrated classroom. III. Staff and Leadership: I feel this school has a positive climate for learning characterized by positive interpersonal relations, the lack of racial tension, and high expectations for students. IV. Resource Allocations: I feel the facilities, materials, teacher/pupil ratio, security arrangements and transportation services are 7 v . :!1s tY'J.ct.:..c::: : feel t~e ~~struction provided by t~is school ~3 cons:.stent ~ith its stated goals and s~ppor:s :::e VI. :ommunity =~volvement: ::::.s I feel :~e public is i~formed of act:.vi::.es re~at:.~g to this school and that there is active icvolvement of parents and other members of the community~~ :his school. VII. Student Outcomes: This school promotes a positive attitude ir. st~dents toward school, other races and their educational progress. The pool of questions grew to a total of 256 questior.s before the jury consensus technique was employed to scree~ the items for duplication and appropriateness, and reduce the mass of items to a reasonable and usable number.

The team was consciously concerr.ed t~at every respondent must be able to read and understand each item on his/her instrument in order to submit quality responses. To further validate the suitability of the instruments, tte team conducted a field testing of the instruments with similar populations that was not a part of the evaluation study. After revisions in questionnaires and instrument format, t~e proposed instrument was presented to the MRC for review and approval. The MRC approved the questionnaire items and format with minor suggestions. These suggestions were incorporated into the final draft of the three evaluation instruments. 10 Security of the data is a maJor concern when an evalua==r depends on another person or persons to adr:linister i:-:.str .. :.rc1ents and collect:. data for use in the evalc.:.atic::-.. :':-:e evaluation team is confident that the magnec scnool and administrators, and the MRC Director and of:ice teachers conducted their functions regarding instrument administration and data collection in a precise and professional manr.er. The following data collection activities will document tr.at the data was secure and professionally treaced. On March 10, 1988, an informational workshop outlining the data collection procedures was conducted by an evaluation team member for the magnet school building principals and the director of the MRC. The evaluation team members presented and discussed the specific data collection procedures (See Appendix B). Included in this presentacion was a discussion of a letter to each magnet school faculty member detailing participation in t~e evaluation process (See Appendix C). The building principals were requested to distribute the information letter to the faculty and follow all other administration and collection procedures. 2. on a date set by each building principal, each teacher of grades 4-12 administered the questionnaire to his/her students. These forms were collected by the teacher, placed in a large, sealed envelope, and returned to the building administration office. The Director of the MRC, notified of the administration date and time, returned the instruments from each building. On selecced dates, 11 t~e MRC of:ice for~arded t~e sealed envelo~es 3. Work~~\nccopera~~vely wich che building profess~o~~l ~or ceachers co complece che questionnaire. ~his occurred during a scheduled faculty meeti~g and c~e teacher was designated to collect the corepleted instr'--'I!lents, place in a large envelope, seal the envelope and return ic to the building administration of:i:e. According to procedure, the MRC Director retrieved t~e envelope and =~rwarded tte sealed envelope to tte 02RS. 4. Follow-up procedures were established and implemented to encourage teachers and students that were unable to complece the questionnaires on the given date to submit their responses for inclusion in the study. 5. The Director and office staff of the MRC reailed a questionnaire directly to all parents of magnet school students, K-12. This mailing included instructions and a stamped addressed envelope for returning the completed questionnaire to the MRC office. The MRC office forwarded all returned responses in the sealed envelopes to the OERS. The building principals assisted with the parent survey by encouraging parents via the school newsletter and parent meetings to complete and return the questionnaires. 6. The office manager of the OERS received and checked each questionnaire package, recorded the number, the population group, identified the completed instruments 12 and verified che i~cegricy o~ che security process. ,  All daca recording and analysis were conduc~ed by ~he scaff o: ~he 02rtS. ?roper =aution a~d concern was exercised during c~e daca recording and che compucer progra~ Statistical ?ackage for c~e Social Sciences (SPSS) was used in data analysis. 13 ~~e evaluati~n team developed questions :o so~i=~= :eac~ers,\narents, and students. These q~est~~ns ~ere ~resented to the MRC for review and approval. ~he cemograp~ic data were utilized to describe t~e pop~lat~~n and :o assist with data analysis. ?opulation data on the records of the MRC indicated t~ere were 247 magnet school teachers of grades K-12, 2382 ~agnet school students in grades 4-12, and 3372 parents of magnet 3c~ool students ~n grades K-12. To insure every member of all t~ree pop~lations equal opportunity to respond to :~e instrument, every member of each population was provided a questionnaire and invited to respond. The acceptance for questionnaire returns was closed (May 11, '88, which was eight weeks after the initial mailout), with the following results: 230 or 93.1% of the teachers had returned completed questionnaires\n2201 or 92.4% of the students had returned completed questionnaires\nand 1676 or 49.7% of the parents had returned completed questionnaires. Twelve parents reported two or more students in the magnet school program. The data for these parents were recorded only once and allocated to the first school/child listed on the returned questionnaire. A very small number, less than one percent, of the questionnaires were determined to be unusable because of incorrect markings on the instrument. The characteristics of the three population groups are presented as population profiles.

This technique was selected because of its power in analyzing frequency data result~ng from questionnaire responses. Because of the extremely large number of responses, the evaluation team anticipated large chi-square values signaling highly significant differences. Following the statistical analysis via computer program, this anticipation became reality. According to Robert L. Winkler and William L. Hays in Statistics: Probability, Inference and Decision, Second Edition 1975, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, pages 832-33, \"If the sample size is very large, as it should be for the best application for the (chi-square) test, virtually any 'degree' of two statistical relationships between attributes will show up as a significant result. The test detects virtually any departure from strict independence between the attributes for these large sample sizes\". Winkler and Hays contend that with large enough sample sizes, chances were good for statistical significant difference on almost any two qualitative attributes via the chi-square test. To compensate for the inflation of significance due to large sample sizes, further analysis was conducted to measure the strength of the association between the attributes in question. This lead the evaluation team to apply the Pearson Contingency coefficient to the computed chi-square va1.ues in order to measure the strength of association among the population groups and their ratings on the key variables. 50 -:'he range of \"strengt:h of associat:ion\" is from a low of 0.00 to a high of 1.00 with marginal associat:ion accept:ed at 0.20. ~he following matrix illust:rat:es the computat:~ons for both the chi-square test of independence and Pearson's Cont:ingency Coefficient: for each of the seven key variables: PEARSON CHI-SQUARE KEY VARIABLE CONTINGENCY VALUE COEFFICIENT Resources 182.37 .209 Inscruct:ion 108.043 .163 Student Outcome 168.72 .1570 Community Involvement 320.42 .276 Staff \u0026amp; Leadership 184.886 .210 Philosophy/Policy/Practice 98.12 .155 Educational Program 68.76 .130 Required value for significance df=6\nchi-square=22.457 P\u0026lt;.001 Suggested value for Contingency Coefficient strengt:h of association\nC=.20 51 :r.e very high c~l-square values i~ply a hi\nhly signi:icant. di::erence among t.he t.hree populat:l:ir:s :o:::- each and every \narlable JUSt: as was expect.ed. :his would seem t.8 ir:dicat.e tr.a~ teac~ers, students, and parents would race the items dif:erent: on the key variable being measu:::-ed i.e. when a respondent. belongs t:o a part.icular populat:ion it is predictable as t:o how that. person would rat:e that. key variable. However, when t:he cont.ingency coefficient. is applied to the chi-square values and consideration is given tot.he large size samples the probability of predictlng t:~at a part.icular memner of a population group would rat.e t.~e variable as \"Strongly Agree\" or any other oft.he rat.lng values, the chance of success is approximat:ely one in five or 20%. (Note: ut.ilizing this analysis, Resource Allocat.ion. Community Involvement and Staff \u0026amp; Leadership were significant.). What became apparent. to the evaluation t.eam was that. differences did exist\nhowever, the strengt.h of associat.ion in most. instances was negligible due to the rnajorit.y of responses being skewed toward the positive (agree and strongly agree) end of the scale. The chi-square technique report.ed significant. differences because a far greater number of each populat.ion group rated the key variables as agree and strongly agree than was statistically expected. Likewise. far fewer members rated the key variables as disagree and strongly disagree than was st.atistically expect.ed. (However, the evaluation team, understanding the parameters of the magnet school program study and the characteristics of the 52 con:iient o: t~e interpretat~on ) . ~rovided suf:ic~ent evidence ~o indicate that :~e Key variables required further analysis. ~hese addi:~onal analyses consisted of using the demographic variables to deter~ine ~= sub-groups of t~e population would prov~ie evidence for further interpretation. The analysis involved separating each population's response by key variable and demographic components. The chi-square technique was utilized to determine if the factors of the demographic component responded differently to the key variable. :or example, did the teachers from the six schools respond differently to the key variables? The team was particularly interested in the key variables Community Involvement, Staff and Leadership, and Resource Allocation, but, decided to conduct the analysis on all the variables. The computed chisquare value was compared to the required value for significance at P\u0026lt;.05 level and the statistical analysis summary is presented for each population group. Initially for each population, joint frequency distributions were computed for each key variable by demographic descriptors to identify significant differences. With each of the seven variables successively held constant, demographic descriptors which were identified as significant were then compared with the other significant demographic descriptors. Chi-square tests were computed to pinpoint these areas of significance. 53 si~gle demographic descriptor or the i~teract~cn of t~o sJch descr~ptcrs wo~ld have minimal speci~ic i~pact on the p~rpose of the study, elected to present consensus statements regarding each key variable rather than address each significant difference. The intent of these additional statistical analyses was to provide further insight i~to the parameters of the key variajles and to assure the reader o : the depth of the search for relevant information.

The secondary students from the Little Rock district responded a :ittle more severely than the students from the other districts, yet, transportation or grade of student had little impact. Realistically, the secondary studencs responded as expected regarding parental involvement with their schools. Instruction: Another of the key variables where students held differing perceptions. There were several differences among the scnools and between the grades. The elementary students, especially, at Booker had higher perceptions\nwhereas, secondary students particularly grades 7 and 10 responded with larger ratings. The students that cid not 58 ac:end a ~agnet schccl :~s:\near, generally responded in tte agree-s:rongly was minimal and non-dif:erer.tiating Detween grades and/or schools. Educatio~al Programs: The significant differences provided by the demographic descrl~tcrs regarding this key variable was basica:ly the magnit~de of the agreement with tte variable statements. The identified differences was evenly spread out among all schools, all grades and all districts. The accumulation of this difference is what computed to be a significant difference. The only noticeable dif:erence was that the students returning to Booker, Williams, and Parkview, and the new students at Carver, Gibbs, and Mann tended to respond in the strongly agree area. 59 ':'::e s:....:...--:-.:nar1 of sr.ac.ist.:..cal analyses fer each key ' ariable by demographic descriptor for the parent population is presented below: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SUMMARY KEY VARIABLES BY DEMOGRAPHICS PARENT PARENT/ PHILOSOPHY STUDENT!

The mother generally completed :te questionnaire, was between Jl-4 0 years old child's assignment. The more :tese =~ree descriptors were congruent, the hiqter the probability the response was strongly agree with the statement. Staff and Leadership: Parents registered some identifiable differences in this variable area by demographic descriptor, but, this difference was in the magnitude of agreement. Black parents did not rate this variable quite as high as the other races rated it. The parents, all races, all schools, all districts, with both mother and father holding college degrees were more varied in their perception. Parents with less education tended to be in agreement with the statements regardless of race, home district, school attendir.g, or which choice they received. The 61 Resource Allocat:on: Over 90 percent of the parents ~eld perceptions in the agree-strongly agree area for this variable. If both parents held col~ege degrees. the responses :ended assig:-:.~ent t~ey received. ?arent and Co:nmun:t1 =~volvement: mhere is a strong relaticnship between parents educat:~n Instruct:on: :evel and parental involvement with t~e schools. The higher the educational :evel, especially the father, the more strongly in agreement they were with the variable statements. The more active parents were between 31-40 years of age and tended to have students attending Williams and Car er schools. The differences recorded for this variable definitely resulted from the magnitude of agreement with the statements. Over 85 percent of the parents' responses were in the agree-strongly agree area. 1tlhite parents that received their first c~o:ce in assignment whose child had not previously attended a magnet school held the h:ghest perception of this variable. 62 educat::.onal prograr:i was so pos:..::...'e ::-.a::. ::.~e s~ac:..sc:..cal analyses :a:..:ed :c :._je~c:..:y one sign:..ficanc d:..ffere~ce regardinq t:~e demographic descr:..pcors. 63 3asEd -=~ --~~ ..... ,...,... --- - ........... -------::,.::\u0026gt; _,_ ----==\u0026gt; Cor..riuc-:ee a:!:\"e co:1s.:..st:er:i:: ,nch c::::-.:..t:e:?:\".:..2. p:.::):...:..s::.ed as charac-:e:?:\".:..st:.:..cs of a successfu~ ~agr:.ec School ?:!:\"og::::-a~. 2.
