- Summary:
-
This volume is a collection of profiles of 130 outstanding Chapter 1 programs across the United States. All of the programs have been given special recognition by the United States Department of Education because they have been unusually successful in meeting the needs of disadvantaged students. The criteria used for judging the effectiveness of a project were based on the number of attributes incorporated from the following list: (1) clear project goals and objectives; (2) coordination with the regular school program/other special programs; (3) parent/community involvement; (4) professional development and training; (5) strong leadership; (6) appropriate instructional materials, methods, and approaches; (7) high expectations for student learning and behavior; (8) positive school/classroom climate; (9) maximum use of academic learning time; (10) closely monitored student progress; (11) regular feedback and reinforcement; (12) excellence recognized and rewarded; and (13) evaluation results used for project improvement. The projects submitted evidence of achievement and gains. The profiles contain the following information: (1) name and address; (2) setting; (3) number of students; (4) grade levels; (5) curriculum; (6) per pupil cost; (7) indicators of success; and (8) attributes of success. These programs from the 1985-1986 school year scored high on the appropriateness of the instructional materials, their articulation with the regular school program, and parent/community involvement. A list of nominated and selected programs, a tabular profile index of these programs, and a geographical index of them comprise the three appendices. (VM)
