ENCLOSURES:
_Q1+iDATION s
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution funding The
Efficacy Institute, Inc., in the amount of $25,000, funding to be
=a from the Law Enforcement Truest Fund, be approved.
The Police Department supports the efforts of organizations
established to assist in the development of our children. The
Efficacy Institute, Inc., provides an excellent intervention
program for at risk students. The Dade County Public Schools, in
conjunction with Miami Dade Community College, would like to
implement this program in a selected middle school in the
Northwestern feeder pattern.
The Efficacy Institute, Inc., is a nonprofit organization
committed to the concept that education is a central factor in
preparing minority youngsters to lead responsible, meaningful,
and fulfilling lives. it also sees education as essential to the
solution of many problems in inner-city communities throughout
the nation. The program addresses basic problems that affect the
intellectual development of minority children. Among these are
low expectations, grouping by ability, lack of support within
peer groups, homes, and communities, inadequate preparation in
basic skill areas, a lack of understanding of the requirements
for success, and the lack of understanding of the importance of
academic excellence.
The funding sought will be utilized for the Efficacy Immersion
Model, which includes a five day, two part seminar, instructional
materials for educators, and instructor expenses.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution authorizing the
funding of the Efficacy Institute, Inc., in an amount not to
exceed $25,000, funding to be from the Law Enforcement Trust
Fund, Project No. 690001, Index Code 029002-247, be approved.
