A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The New Jersey Association of Federal Program Administrators,

through the support of its membership, has gathered evaluation

information on the statewide effectiveness of the ECIA Chapter 1

program in New Jersey since 1982. The information, which

details in report form, the performance of students in reading

and mathematics as a result of participation in the Chapter 1

program, is essential to providing Congressional legislators,

state legislators, the Department of Education, superintendents

of schools and program administrators with current information

upon which future decisions can be made.

We appreciate the continued support of our membership and the

opportunity to share this report with you.

ABSTRACT

This report is designed to provide New Jersey Congressional legislators withcurrent information on the effectiveness of the ECIA Chapter 1 program in NewJersey.

Data on the reading and mathematics performance of ECIA Chapter 1 students ingrades two through eight from participating districts was analyzed andreported by type of testing schedule, i.e., spring to spring or fall tospring. Statewide as well as Congressional District results are presented anda set of recommendations are proposed.

Strong positive gains, expressed as Normal Curve Equivalents (NCEs), wereachieved statewide in reading and mathematics in both spring to spring andfall to spring testing. In general, New Jersey students performed higher thanthe national results for ECIA Chapter 1 students and statewide results werereflected in the results achieved within each Congressional District.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to provide New Jersey Congressional legislatorswith current information on the effecriveness of the ECIA Chapter 1 program inNew Jersey. Since 1982 the New Jersey Association of Federal Program Adminis-trators (NJAFPA) has provided a formal evaluation report to New Jersey'sFederal senators and representatives designed to provide them with studentperformance information upon which to base their decisions regarding thefunding of the ECIA Chapter 1/ESEA Title I legislation.

This study was designed to collect, analyze and report on the reading andmathematics performance of students in grades two through eight who partici-pated in an ECIA Chapter 1 program during the 1986-1987 school year.

SECTION 2: PROCEDURE

The NJAFPA requested that all New Jersey public school districts submitstudent performance results from their New Jersey Consolidated ProgramEvaluation Summary (CPES) Reports to the appropriate NJAFPA regional represen-tative. Seventy (70) districts responded. Appcadix A contains a list ofparticipating districts by Congressional District.

All district data was coded with the appropriate Congressional District andorganized for computerized data entry. For school districts covered by twoCongressional Districts a decision was made to place the district into onlyone Congressional District in order to facilitate the data analysis process.The selection of which Congressional District was based on the sampling needfor the Congressional Districts under consideration. All public and non-public school students in grades two through eight who received instruction inreading or mathematics or both and who were funded totally or in part by ECIAChapter 1 funds were included in this study. Due to time constraints, datafor ECIA Chapter 1 funded neglected or delinquent, former migrant, handicappedand Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students was not included in this study.The number of students, their mean pre test, posttest and performance gainresults expressed as a Normal Curve Equivalents (NCEs), and testing schedule(spring to spring or fall to spring) for districts using the Model A-1 evalu-aticn design were entered for computerized data analysis.

SECTION 3: RESULTS

The results of this study are presented below by testing schedule. Statewideresults for reading and mathematics in grades two through eight, expressed asmean NCE gains, are presented in the first two graphs. The following twotables provide a comparison between the results of this study and the mostrecent national results. The remaining graphs present a summary of results byCongressional District. Results of both testing schedules have been includedon these graphs. All Congressional Districts are represented except District5. Where no bars are shown on the graphs, no data was available. Backupinformation on all graphs is contained in Appendix B.

.summary of the number and percent of public, non-public, and neglected ordelinquent students

.summary of the number and percent .f female and male students

'summary of the number and percent of students by ethnic breakdown

.summary of the number and percent of students receiving reading only,mathematics only or both

.summary of the number of program staff by staff position

.summary of the frequency of support services by type of service

3. It is recommended that the NJAFPA consider the possibility of expandingthe design of their statewide ECIA Chapter 1 evaluation to includeperformance in the following areas:
