- Summary:
-
The California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) has two major components: curriculum development projects, focusing on improving the secondary school curriculum, and diagnostic testing projects, focusing on the assessment of students abilities in writing and mathematics. Both components involve partnerships between K-12 districts and institutions of higher education, with special emphasis placed on underrepresented students. This evaluation of the projects that have been funded under this program consists of the following sections: executive summary; history and background (program origins and goals, administration, program components and collaboration, funding history, and evaluation); curriculum development projects (project selection criteria, project impact, teacher participation, local objectives, curriculum revision, continuing activities); diagnostic testing projects (project selection criteria, project locations and emphases, Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project, High School Diagnostic Testing Program in Composition, writing exam for eleventh graders, project funding, project evaluation); conclusions; and recommendations. The curriculum development projects had a mixed record of success, as some were outstanding, some effective, and some ineffective, while the diagnostic testing project demonstrated considerable success. It was recommended that the program be continued at its present funding level, with cost-of-living adjustments, and with concomitant recommendations for annual reporting and a second comprehensive program evaluation. Appended are Assembly Bill 2398 (1984), project descriptions comprising nearly 40% of the report, and a baseline data guide. (KM)
