TITLE: Guidebook to Promising Practices in Compensatory
Education and Miller-Unruh Reading Program Schools in
California.
YEAR PUBLISHED: (1973)
NOTE: 138 p.
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this guidebook is to give
recognition to some of California's effective schools and,
more importantly, to encourage interschool visiting.
Emphasizing that organization leads to productivity,
specific suggestions as to how to use the book and how to
plan school visits are provided. Listed alphabetically and
by county, section I provides a roster of schools with
promising practices in compensatory education and Miller
Unruh Reading Programs. Section II contains an inventory of
program strengths on which validation teams rate the
schools. Among the criteria considered are nonisolation of
disadvantaged students, auxiliary services, staff
development, intergroup relations, and affirmative action.
A
section providing facts about the schools describes ethnic
content, target students, socio-economic background,
staffing, and funds follows. Section IV provides a listing
of other schools and special projects suggested by various
program units within the State Department of Education.
Among these are incentive grant programs, programs
providing
alternative solutions to educational needs and problems,
demonstration programs in reading and mathematics, library
media projects, and environmental education programs and
projects. A directory of career education project sites is
provided. The greatest value of this guidebook is seen to
be
for interschool visiting with the purpose of learning as
much as possible about the process by which the improvement
in measured achievement of disadvantaged students is
achieved. (Author/AM)
