- Helping Hands Project Report, 1984-85. Newark School District. Madhere, Serge Walker, Elaine M. Academic Achievement Educational Improvement Elementary Schools Ethnic Groups Grade 4 Grade 6 Intermediate Grades Mathematics Minority Group Children Problem Solving Program Evaluation Reading Comprehension The Helping Hands Project (HHP) is a program that aims at improving achievement in reading comprehension and in math problem-solving by helping the classroom teacher sustain instructional intensity. Implemented in grades four and six in two Newark School District elementary schools, HHP involved five teachers and 117 students. Ninety-two percent of the participants had an ethnic minority background (Black, Hispanic, Portuguese). The introductory chapter of this evaluation report discusses the need for the program, presents all the elements that form the core of HHP, and reviews the stages of implementation. Chapters 2 and 3 explain the resulting impact on math concepts/applications and reading comprehension respectively. Chapter 4 examines the degree of adjustment to school as reflected in peer acceptance, attendance pattern, student turnover or transiency, and achievement. Chapter 5 attempts to clarify some of the strategies (with their attendant difficulties) used by students in processing information and solving problems. The final chapter shows how this project can contribute to the solution of some of the school district's problems and charts new directions for educational improvement. The appendix contains the Awards Certificate, the Friendship Test, the Bi-Weekly-Progress Report Form, a grade 4 mathematics test, a grade 6 reading test, and the Newark Library Survey. (PN)
