- Summary:
-
Developed in response to the Chapter 1 Migrant Education Program (1967), this framework provides Texas school districts and local education agencies (LEAs) with a process of creating, implementing, and evaluating a basic skills growth plan to enhance achievement levels of all migrant students. The rationale of the framework indicates migrant student deficiencies in mastering math, reading, and writing objectives, and it notes the high percentage of overage migrant students in all grades 1 through 12. The paper describes the concept of the basic skills growth plan, as well as the federal and state context of expectations for such plans. A management model illustrates a systems analysis method for the development of a basic skills growth plan. Implementation of the plan includes five components: (1) a comprehensive, districtwide curriculum; (2) instruction--student assessment/placement, instructional coordination, instructional strategies and ongoing monitoring of student progress; (3) parental involvement; (4) testing/measurement; and (5) staff/development/personnel training. The framework suggests evaluation of the basic skills growth plan in terms of at least 10 critical attributes that bring about an effective supplementary instructional program for migrant students.
