Analysis of the Competency-Based High School Diploma Program for CETA Clients. Report III. Student/Client Completion Results

摘要

The report is the third in a series of six descriptive analyses that make up the final report of the Competency-Based High School Diploma (CBHSD) program for CETA clients from 1977-80. This analytical report shows the nature and effect of student/client completion results. Follow-up methodology is outlined and features both common and unique to the sites are described. The following points are detailed: a description of the data collection process during the follow-up period, premature terminations, and student/client completions. Discussion focuses on the data sources drawn upon: initial interviews, follow-up of dropouts and completions alike, along with problems with data gathering by project administrators. The section on premature terminations distinguishes the characteristics between dropouts and candidates leaving for other reasons. A review of the student/client completions includes overall statistics, length of stay for participants, a record of what program components were completed by them, employment status of graduates, plans for further education, and their judgement of CBHSD results.
