Utah Migrant Education Annual Summer Evaluation Report.

Overview & Synopsis

In 1993, Utah migrant education summer programs in 10 school districts provided education and support services to 2,045 children of seasonal and migrant farmworkers. Although the program is federally funded, school districts provided various support services, such as transportation, use of staff, availability of school buildings, availability of computer labs and books, and other resources. Services to children aged 3-21 included: (1) health physicals; (2) reading, math, language arts, and career awareness activities; (3) English language instruction; (4) social skills training; and (5) meals. The State Education Agency implemented an evaluation process in which the 10 school districts reported on 7 "desired outcomes" with respect to early childhood education; secondary education; parental involvement; two support services such as health, nutrition, or transportation; and two academic subjects such as math, reading, or social studies. This report lists desired outcomes and results of on-site evaluations for each school district. Appendices list parent activities, chart demographic data on the migrant students, chart numbers of students receiving various instructional and support services, and provide a table of results of desired outcomes by district.
