| contents | Evaluation Report on the Community Learning Center. Fried, Robert L. Adult Education Adult Programs Adult Students Formative Evaluation Program Administration Program Attitudes Program Budgeting Program Descriptions Program Design Program Effectiveness Program Evaluation The Community Learning Center (CLC) evaluation is based on on-site visits and interviews with staff and students of widely differing ethnic backgrounds. Teaching resources are varied. The Model Cities program is the basic source for CLC funding; the Cambridge Public Library is the center's local sponsor. The external bureaucratic framework needs improving, but the internal framework works very well. Obtaining a balance between guiding and caring and between the need for skills and for social growth provides the best environment in which adults can learn--achieving that balance is the center's purpose and process. CLC's operational viability is one of the strongest elements in its evaluation; it does need more male teachers, however. Evaluation of student progress and teaching performance is in keeping with the center's atmosphere and takes the form of informal, day-to-day feedback. The students view their experience with the center, its programs, and staff as personally rewarding. The center has a good relationship with the community but could involve community members to a greater degree. Generally, CLC is an effective educational organization. The challenge rests in maintaining its effectiveness as it reaches out to a larger population group. (AG) |
