This report presents results of a study of the effectiveness of the Comer Process, also known as the School Development Program (SDP) in the Milliken II Schools, Prince Georges County, Maryland. The process was introduced in the school system in summer 1985 to improve effectiveness of schools that could not be integrated because of their geographical isolation and whose student makeup was more than 90 percent black. The report describes study design, method, and analysis findings. The first section of analysis describes the implementation process, without critical review, based on consensus from interview responses and on documents. The second part analyzes responses to interview items and presents individuals' perceptions of various aspects of the process. Interviewees were district and school level staff, and parents. Generally the process was perceived as working well. It appeared to be achieving its goals to some extent. Some doubts were expressed on whether the process itself was bringing about the noted positive changes, whether it was interacting with other variables to produce change, or whether it was having any effect at all. Most respondents agreed that without the process the noted positive changes probably would not have occurred. The strongest effect of the process in schools seemed to be on teacher morale, followed by school climate. Student behavior and achievement are seen to have been positively affected as well, but to a lesser extent. Included is an appendix with lists of interview responses. (PS) |
