A nImber of districts were interested in the Zoo Project approach for help with thelent and hearing handicapped because of the lAnguage motivation provided by theapproach.

Needs Assessment

VaS1T.:?41

r '*1

1. What was the starting point fur needs assessment?2. How were the specific needs of the pupils identified?

3. What were these specific needs? Which were selected for the program?

Needs for this particular statewide dissemination program were determined by theState Department of Education before selection of the nine projects included in the

1972-73 "California Plan." The needs of the various district; and/or pupils werebalanced against the available successfully tested projects and appropriate exemplaryand innovative projects were then selected for dissemination through a stateadministered program of dissemination and diffusion.

Each adoptor district or school will have identified the problems which causetheir needs, and will adapt the project's solution to fit their own local, resourcesand needs.

Needs of the local "producer" district for a program were determined in the

following manner: At the time of the inception of this program, in 1969, there wereclose to four thousand children enrolled in programs for Educationally Handicapped andMentally Retarded in the pro.4ect area. These children had been identified throughtest data and teacher judgment as being in need of special attention. These children

very commonly have their greatest etfficulty in communication skills. As language,

reading and verbal skills arAthe heart of the educational process, there is a needto stimulate this group in these areas.

A review of the literature and experience of local teachers revealed that certainlearning needs common to these children must be met in their learning activities.These needs included:

- The need for direct experience rather than abstractions.- The need for approaches that appeal to all the lienses.- The need to relate school activities to meaningful situations

thus enabling children to transfer what has been learned intomeaningful behavior.

- The need for meaningful repetition without over stimulation.- The need for motivatitnal experiences in which children arevitally interested.

- The need for behavior modification both passive and aggtesaive.- The need for opportunity for developing ,relationships.

It was felt by the planning committee that a program using animals as amotivating force could take advantage of the fascination all humans have forliving things and meet all the unique learning needs listed above.

Historical Background

r-tr

1. Did the program exist prior to the time period covered in the present report?2. Is the program a modification of a previously existing program?3. How did the program originate?4. If special problems were encountered in gaining acceptance of the program

by parents and the community, how were these solved so that the programcould be introduced?

5. Provide a brief history of planning. Indicate which planning efforts weresuccessful or wero not successful. Describe how non-profit private schoolsand other agencies were involved in the planning.

The 1972-73 phase of the ZOO PROJECT program was a "diffusion" year ofthe project in which we took the successes and experience of the previousthree years and shared them with interested districts and/or schoolsthroughout the state. The program was modified in that the local programwas continued as a demonstration program, and staff hours were increased forextra help when the project director was absent on dissemination activities.The origination and planning of the program were described under "NeedsAssessment" above.

No special problems were encountered in gaining acceptance of theprogram by parents or community. We have been received with great enthusiasmand appreciation throughout the history of the project.

PROGRAM

Scope of the Program

liEsT COPY Mt AKE

1. What numbers and kinds of participants were served by the program?2. What were the specified objectives of the program?

All interested persons were invited to a series of eleven ACSA/EXPO presentations upand down the state during the fall of 1972. In addition, the Zoo Project contactedlocal Zoo and park staffs and nearby CANHC (California Association of NeurologicallyHandicapped Children) chapters. All who attended these presentations received infor-mation on the project. Those who expressed an interest were sent a package ofmaterials further describing the program and outlining the services available.

Districts, Zoos, and groups then participated in several ways:

1. Secondary awareness level presentations to staffs.2. Inservice workshops from two to sixteen hours in length depending on the

needs of the district.3. Demonstration lessons.4. On site visits to the Zoo Project.5. Utilization of Zoo Project materials (provided free to all districts

providing workshops of four hours or more duration).6. Technical advice and assistance when requested.7. Initial awareness level presentations to schools, districts, groups not

contacted in initial ACSA/EXPO presentations.

Eighteen workshops were presented to a total of 552 teachers and/or administrators,district staff, etc. This included training 33 teachers new to the local demonstrationprogram at the San Diego Zoo. Counting all participants at the awareness level 3,105participants were included in the program. The number of children is estimated over 44430.

OBJECTIVES: Encourage and promote the adoption or adaption of the zoo PROJECT FORHANDICAPPED CHILDREN in a minimum of ten otaer school settings ( districts or schools)in the state of California.

1. Create an awareness about the ZVO PROJECT among 100 school districtsin the state.

2. Operate a model demonstration program capable of accommodating 25 visitorsper week and demonstrate to potential adopters from 25 school and/or Zoosettings.

3. Select 10 districts or schools interested in adopting or adapting accordingto established criteria one or more program components.

4. Conduct 10 staff training seminars for potential adopter/adapters from 25school and/or Zoo settings.

5. Provide technical assistance for implementation to Adoption/Adaption schoolsand/or Zoos.

6. Evaluate the diffusion process for effectiveness.

1. What kinds and numbers of personnel were added by the program?2. What were their most important duties and activities?3. How much time did each type of personnel devote to these responsibilities?4. What special qualifications suited personnel to the requirements of their jobs?5. What special problems were dealt with in recruiting or maintaining staff?

The Zoo Project was able to operate with a staff of three:

The Project Director planned the master schedule for classes, buses, and animalsboth In-Zoo and In-School, instructed the inservice training workshops, assistedteachers in both programs, interpreted the program to visitors and to outside groups,acted as liaison between the Zoo, the district and other districts and private schools,initiated all records and reports about the Zoo Project, was responsible for projectequipment and use of loaned Zoo facilities, and was responsible for keeping withinthe project budget. He conducted the major part of the dissemination activitieslisted in this report.

The Project Secretary served as general office manager and assistant to theProject Director; she assisted teachers, maintained schedules, prepared masters forreproduction, maintained records, acted as receptionist and performed other secretarialduties. She received visitors in L4e absence of the Project Director and assistedwith the inservice training.

The Animal Attendant, formerly a Zoo employee, became a district employee under the

1972-73 project. She was responsible for the daily feeding and cleaning of animals,their daily handling and training, cleaning and maintaining the workroom and classrooms,maintained stock of animal supplies, assisted teachers in their use of animals, wasavailable as a resource person, accompanied classes in the Zoo and conducted theIn-School portion of the program during the absence of the Project Director, andperformed other related aiLties.

These personnel devoted their full time to the operation of the Zoo Project.

Other than the normal qualifications for these jobs, the positions requiredwillingness to handle ALL kinds of animals, a willingness and ability to workwith children who sometimes may have bizarre physical or behavioral characteristics,the ability to make decisions concerning the appropriateness of an activity for aparticular situation in regard to the safety of animals and children involved.

Although these positions very often require irregular lunch hours, andunreimbursed overtime, we have had no problem in recruiting or maintainingstaff.

7. What provisions, if any, were made for inservice training?

1,2,3. This report covers only the 1972-73 dissemination grant period. This

was the fourth operational year of the Zoo Project. Program activities were located

throughout the state of California, wherever schools felt that the project approach

met their needs. Local activities of the demonstration program was located in the

San Diego Zoo and in the classrocms of 41 In-School classes throughout San Diego

County.

4. Rather than make special arrangements for the program in each area, 'e

worked to adapt the program to their local resources.

5,6. Review as conducted after each presentation to determine new needs,

unexpected benefits, suggestions for change or improvement. Any need for change

pointed out were incorporated into the rrogram.

7. Inservice training was the heart of the program. It was the major request

of participating districts. In many cues the district sponsored the training and then

allowed teachers to develop their own programs with district approval.

1,2,3. The main function of the project staff was to provide the services which wouldenable teachers to adopt or adapt the Zoo Project approach. This was accomplishedthrough providing awareness level presentations, teacher workshops, operating thedemonstration program, and other aseiscance as requested. These were the objectives of

the program. All services were available on request and were altered to meet the local

needs and resources of the requesting school.

4. A typical workshop schedule dovered three main areas:,

a) Animal handling to help the teacher feel confident in working with animalsthat tmight be available for her class.

b) Background information on animal groups and specific information aboutparticular animals.

3) Sharing and developing activities and materials that would meet the needsof her particular class.

The workshops were expanded or contracted from 2 hours to 16 hours depending upon theneeds of the district. When applied to the classroom, a typical lesson would involve theteacher introducing an animal such as the snake; talking about it, pointing out andexplaining any actions or movements that might tend to be startling; demonstrating howto hold it and listing some particular things to look for on it. By this time the children

would be eager to touch and hold the animal. It would be passed to every child but nobodywould be forced to touch it who did not want to. (Almost always, after the elaborateintroduction every child will take the animal.) One or more children might have a polaroidpicture taken with the animal. The group would then discuss the animal and summarize theitems they had been directed to look for. An art lesson or written lesson might follow,or research for further information; or if in a zoo, study or related animals in the zoo.The polaroid picture could be used later for extending the experience, using it as thebasis for a written story or oral language activities. In School the children would beresponsible for reading directions and being responsible for the care of the animal. In

most classes, after children became "expert" on an animal, they might be allowed toreport on and "share" the animal in other classrooms.

Activities or Services (Coned)

BEST C"" 45-6. The project did no grouping of pupils for various program activities.Teacher-pupil ratios were those normally established in their various schools ordistricts for regular or special education classes. At'.the demonstration program,if the teacher wanted additional help, and members of the staff were available, theywould accompany groups in the zoo. In addition, high school tutor guides from specialeducation classes in one of the local high schools were available if the teacher choseto ask for them.

7-8-9. Feedback to parents or pupils was not an organized part of this program.It is dependent on the policy or practice of the particular school or districtinvolved. As we were interested in motivation of pupils rather than accumulationof knowledge, practic review and quiz activities were not a part of this project,although individual teachers may have included them in their program.

10. Motivation is the major goal of the Zoo Project. We believe that living thingspresent a special fascination for children, and that teachers can take advantage ofthis fascination to teach school subjects. Animals provide a multi-sensory stimulationnot filled by the standard approach. We feel the animal experience breaks up thepattern of failure the child may have had from the standard school approach.

suddenly places the child in neutral non-school territory being stimulated by acompletely different and unorthodox approach. Suddenly he finds a reason to do schooltype tasks; but they are his own realistic reasons, based on needs that he feels.

4. If a comparison is being made between program and nonprogram persons,were there important differences between thes) groups in kinds andamounts of materials provided, or in methods of uso?

1. A slide/tape presentation was developed for use in the ACSA/EXPO initialawareness portion of the program as was a brochure entitled "How Can AnimalsMLLE Your Children?" These were produced by the Zoo Project staff with theaid of Mr. Don Kelly of the State Department of Education. The Zoo ProjectHandbook was reprinted for use in the workshops. Additional handout materialswere produced as needed to fit local workshop needs.

2-3. A synchronized slide/tape projector was purchased for use in the ACSA/EXPOphase of the program and for use by the Zoo Project staff when makine presentationsin the absence of the project director.

Equipment, minor in cost, buc major in importance are the cages and otheranimal equipment needed for the In- School program.

The slide camera and polaroid camera obtained during the first year offunding continued to be items of utmost importance. Eyery class received eight

or more pictures of the children interacting with the animals for use in motivating

language activities.

The project van leased during the year provided the necessary transportationneeded for the In-School portion of the program, and was used for hauliqg animalsand materials to workshops within driving distance of San Diego.

Several letters were received from parents. Some teachers distributed evaluation

sheets to parents. All from whom we heard were veLy supportive of the program.

2-3. Some parent and community groups contacted the project for information or

asked for a speaker. All such invitations were accepted.

4. The Zoo Project was described in two local newspaper articles, one localradio program and one local television program. An illustrated article was

published in the San Diego Zoological Society's magazine ZOONOOZ. All invitations

The whole focus of this year's program has been on dissemination of the Zoo

Pio ect approach.

Initial awareness presentations occurred as a part of a series of "ACSA/EXFO"

rle,b:ings in eleven locations throughout the state of California. In these meetings,

a brief description of the Zoo Pr:.je.t was given along with description of services

available to teacners/schools/districts.

In addition to the teachers, administrators and other educators invited to these

meetings through ACSA, the Zoo Project sent special invitations to local zoos,

aquariums and animal parks and local CANHC chapters (California Association of

A,,,r1logically Handicapped Children), indicating where and when the closest ACSA/EXPO

-Icsentation would be.

eersons indicating an interest in the Zoo Project approach on ACSA/EXPO evaluation

were sent a package of materials giving further information. These materials

L.!cluded

a list of workshop objectives, goals, and outcomes

a suggested workshop schedule

m-ti,:les. through word of mouth and through displays.

Disseminatiln (Cont'd), -

Dissemination activities were considered to have two purposes for theZoo 1'tojtu One was to promote the adoption or adoption of tho 1.on Prljectapproach in other areas. The second purpose was to encourage the continuationan' .Auansion oi the program locally after federal funding has ceaeed.

Districts, schools, or individuals who were interested in the Zoo Projectapproach then contacted us for one or more of the following services:

1) Sea awareness level meetinll in which a more complete presentationwas provided of the material given in the ACSA/EXPO presentation. Such

ceetings were given to school staffs, departmental groups, professionalutganizations, college classes, parent groups, and service clubs,

aeykying for inclusion in the program agreed to have visitora at eny timeduring their particpation.

3) it:acner training workshops were provided to all request ins schootr. or districts.Organization of the workshop varied according to the needs and resources ofthe school or district involved. Many districts were not interested inestablishing a district wide program, but were interested in sponsoring a,,.crkshop that would expsse their teachers to the Zoo Project approach andencourage teachers to adapt features of the program that met their ownimmediate needs.

) Demonstrations. Two districts requested demonstration lessons in their own

aree with h ildren from their own schools. The project director provided these

lessons for them.
