ABSTRACT: This is an evaluation of the Title I Program of
the Michigan Training Unit, a program designed to provide
compensatory education in basic skills for young adult male
prisoners. The evaluation provides information to enable
decision-makers to maximize the efficiency and
effectiveness
of the program and considers whether the program fulfilled
requirements established by funding legislation.
Information
collected concerning student demography, achievement, self
concept, and attitudes is tabulated, as is an inventory of
staff, administrator and teacher awareness of Federal
guidelines and local Title I programs. Questionnaires used
in gathering most of the data are reprinted along with the
numerical compilations of responses. Recommendations are
made concerning goal delineation, criterion-reference
testing, social development of students, evaluation of the
pre-high school component, creation of a system to educate
staff about government guidelines for Title I programs,
improvement of affirmative action efforts, and
restructuring
of the organizational system. (WI)
