520 |a The Education North Evaluation Project monitored operation of the Education North Project (a 1978-82 project aimed at encouraging parents, teachers, and other community members in small, isolated northern Alberta communities to work together in improving the quality of education for school-aged children), assessed project outcomes, and developed policy alternatives based on project experiences and findings. Data were collected from teachers and parents by means of questionnaires, interviews, site visits, and document reviews. Parental involvement increased in educational activities and commitment to education, especially with respect to participation. There was a moderate increase in localized content in most Education North schools and increased parental desire for local content. School-community relations improved in some communities, but not in all. There was a moderate level of improvement in leadership and participation skills over the life of the project, and more parents held the view that they could influence what happens in schools. Overall, the Education North project was moderately successful in implementing the intended strategy and achieving the outcomes established for the project, particularly in view of the project's limited length. Part 1 introduces the project, part 2 provides seven case studies, part 3 summarizes the findings, and nine appendices conclude the document. (BRR)
