Description
Summary:In 1985-86, the Albuquerque (New Mexico) Public Schools, through Chapter 1 funding, entered the final year of a 3-year pilot of Early Learning Programs (ELPs) at four sites in the district: (1) Lavaland; (2) Longfellow; (3) Tomasita; and (4) Alamosa. Four- and five-year-old children (N=272) participated in the pilot program. Seventy-five percent of the students were Hispanic. Evaluation of the program focused on program implementation, parental involvement, and a follow-up of participants. Evaluation questions were developed by the District Early Childhood Specialist, the Chapter 1 Cognitive Language Development Specialists, and the district Director of Elementary instruction in cooperation with the district evaluation specialists assigned to Chapter 1. This evaluation report presents a synopsis of information gathered over the past three years. Data were obtained via: administration of parent, teacher, school staff, principal, and coordinator/specialist questionnaires and interviews; program observation; analysis of demographic documentation and anecdotal records of children and parents; and examination of district-wide data available for participants as they moved into the regular school setting. Results indicate that both children and parents benefited from involvement with the ELPs. The Classroom Profile, the Classroom Environment Checklist, and the Early Learning Program Screening Instrument are appended. (TJH)
