Curriculum Research and Development Group Honored
Curriculum Research and Development Group Education Associates Morris K. Lai, Hugh H. Dunn and Susan E. York were awarded first place in the Division H, School Evaluation and Program Development, Outstanding Publications Competition at the annual American Educational Research Association meeting in New York. Faculty and staff from the CRDG program research and evaluation office won first place in 2 out of 12 competition categories.
Having won in the best alternative reporting method category last year, Lai and Dunn, along with York this year, won for best summary report for 2007. The trio submitted a three-page summary report, which they had prepared for a site visit by the Government Accountability Office. The report, titled Data-Substantiated Evaluation Assertions About Pihana Na Mamo, summarizes the effects of a project funded by the U.S. Department of Education through the Native Hawaiian Education Act. Since 2000, Pihana Na Mamo: The Native Hawaiian Special Education Project has sought to improve the education of Native Hawaiian children.
“The report not only provides a succinct data-rich account of our project’s positive outcomes across years, it also captures the basic essence of our project’s mission,” says Dunn. “The award affirms the hard work and dedication of all who are involved in this project.”
