The Children's Art Carnival (C.A.C) is a community arts organization founded in Harlem in 1969. The organization aims to improve the language skills of pupils with low academic achievement through intensive participation in creative arts activities. In 1983-84, the program served 305 second, third, and fourth graders from eight schools in Manhattan and Queens. The major findings of this evaluation were as follows: (1) in 1983-84, for the first time in five years, the reading achievement goal was not achieved; (2) no significant improvements in attendance were found but school attendance rates were high (over 90%); (3) reading and arts instruction were implemented as proposed; (4) psychological and social work services were provided only for students at the Manhattan site, where the services were rated as moderately to very successful; (5) staff members felt that they had received sufficient training for the program; and (6) staff, home school teachers, principals, and parents believed that the program was worthwhile for participating children. The following recommendations were made: develop different measures to guage the program's impact; eliminate the psychological component; establish formal contact between C.A.C. and home school staff to discuss students' progress; and initiate standardized orientation training sessions for all home school teachers. Appended to this evaluation report are a sample vocabulary test given to program participants, as well as staff and parent questionnaires.(Author/RDN)
