- Summary:
-
In the summer of 1987, a qualitative evaluation report was published regarding the outcomes from 20 school/college partnership projects for enhancement of college preparatory curricula sponsored by the California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) between 1984 and 1987. Most CAPP projects involve college and university faculty working together with junior high and high school teachers in curriculum development, which is designed to provide students with skills and information needed for their success in college. This paper: (1) describes a qualitative approach to evaluate the effectiveness of school/college partnership curriculum enhancement efforts; (2) describes the findings and recommendations of the qualitative evaluation report; and (3) assesses the impact of the evaluation report on the development of seven new school/college partnership efforts that began in the summer of 1987. Findings indicate means by which the 20 project directors indicated that curriculum enhancement projects could best be enhanced. Specifically, the results suggest answers to questions concerning characteristics that make an effective partnership for curriculum enhancement, optimal administrative structures, promotion of post-secondary faculty working with schools, incentives for inter-institutional cooperation, targeting of academic preparation efforts for underrepresented students, and unintended outcomes of partnership projects. Appendixes include a transcript of relevant legislation, a list of CAPP projects, a chart of CAPP project characteristics; a plan for evaluation sessions; and a copy of the survey instrument used in the study.
