| Abstract: |
This program for institutionalized children, funded under the Elementary Secondary Education Act of 1965, involved approximately 2181 children in 35 institutions in the New York City metropolitan area. Children were institutionalized for a variety of reasons: they were orphaned, neglected, dependent, in need of supervision, or emotionally disturbed. For each child selected to participate in the program, there was a demonstrable need for extra help in reading and/or mathematics. Participants were expected to improve their reading and/or mathematics abilities. The program was designed to provide regular after school tutorial learning experiences for the children in reading and/or mathematics. The tutors were all licensed teachers. Tutoring took place in the child's place of residence. Personal, individual relationships between the tutors and each of their students were established. The program operated from September 1, 1974 through June 30, 1975. The analyses of the test score data indicate that the program did increase the reading and/or mathematics ability through the children's participation in after school tutorial and small group sessions. The data from site visits and observations also indicate that the program was successful. (Author/JM) |
