- Summary:
-
The Aides to Career Education (ACE) Program employs instructional aides to help disadvantaged vocational education students in Los Angeles develop positive attitudes toward education and employment, more cooperative behavior, pride in their course work, efficiency in completing assigned tasks, and improved attendance. In 1975-76 (the fourth year) there were 289 aides assigned to 49 high schools and 1 regional occupational center plus 13 counselor aides in 13 urban impact schools. The (1975-76) evaluation included analysis of quantitative data, administration of questionnaires to certificated, classified, and student personnel, and onsite visitations by project administrators. Findings indicated that the program was effective in meeting its overall goal of increasing individual assistance to disadvantaged students. The program had a generally positive effect on the students assisted, especially on the slower ones. The greatest efforts of the aides were in the area of direct assistance to students. Project objectives for median ratings of 3.0 or more (on a 1-4 scale) were met in all areas and were higher than in the previous year; attendance of students in classes with ACE aides was also higher. Monthly inservice education workshops for development of aides' skills and for acquisition of feedback about the program were found to be generally effective. Provision of career guidance counselors and of teacher-developed instructional materials was found by teachers to be valuable. For the third year the number of hours assigned to each aide and the number of aides assigned to each school were reported to be inadequate to meet student needs.
