-
The Skyline Career Development Center was conceived as an opportunity for upper secondary students in the Dallas school district to accomplish educational goals beyond the conventional curriculum, especially in the area of career education. A flexible curriculum was developed to offer courses not available elsewhere and to enable students to perform at varying levels, terminating at different points in any of the courses. A new report card was designed to report student progress based on individual achievement, allowing a student to compare his growth with his own past performance. Evaluation of the Center during its first year was limited to collecting information on teacher, student, and parent attitudes about various aspects of the program. Attitudes concerning the new forms for reporting student progress showed that the new system was generally well-received by students and parents but that teachers were still opposed to the process, although not the concept. No final study of student progress was prepared due to several record deficiencies. More than three-fourths of the students indicated positive feelings toward classes, career values, and the Center. However, most of the educational clusters had attrition rates higher than 50 percent of the enrollment. Study findings are detailed in the report, with recommendations for improvements in the Center's programs. (MF)
