Count Me In Too Indigenous Evaluations
Count Me in Too Indigenous evaluation (pdf - 706 KB)
The Count Me In Too Indigenous (CMITI) program was introduced into five primary schools in NSW during 2001 and provided an opportunity for teachers, Aboriginal educators, parents and Aboriginal communities to develop a local program to enhance students' numeracy development.
Data from 108 students (59 female and 49 male) on the extended Schedule for Early Number Assessment was analysed for the six constructs of subitising, sharing, numeral identifi cation, forward number word sequence, backward number word sequence and early arithmetical strategies.
In general, the implementation of CMITI in 2001 has resulted in improved learning outcomes across all constructs for those Aboriginal students involved in the program.
Report on the Count Me In Too Indigenous program during 2002 (pdf - 411 KB)
The Count Me In Too Indigenous (CMITI) program continued in five primary schools in 2002. This evaluation looked at the factors impacting upon the ongoing implementation of the program.
Factors influencing the longitudinal impact of the program included:
- Program leadership in the school
- Continuity of staff
- Preschool to school links
- Effective relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal educators
- The use of CMITI in homework centres
The evaluation found that "There is no doubt that the techniques, activities and procedures implemented through the program are associated with improved student learning outcomes." (p. 7)
