| Abstract | This process and product evaluation addressed two topics that are currently greatly discussed in the educational literature: (a) summer programs and (b) minority in mathematics and science. The Lincoln Foundation summer program provided participants with four weeks of instruction in math and science. The goal of the program was to enhance student's ability to succeed in high school mathematics and science courses. The evaluation design called for the use of a preand post-test and parent and teacher surveys. As the data in the following report indicate, the program is achieving its objective of increasing students' content knowledge in the various subject areas. The results of the parent survey indicated the high levels of satisfaction with the program. The teacher survey result showed an overall high support for the professional development model and the instructional support. The highlighted curricular methods include cooperative learning, activity-based lessons, and small group techniques. Implications for practice and recommendations for improvement are included. |
