Directory of Selected Ongoing Compensatory Education Programs. IRCD Bulletin, Volume 7, Number 3, Summer 1971.

Overview & Synopsis

A questionnaire was sent to 350 people representing heads of Federal agencies dealing with education, all state commissioners of education, superintendents of schools of the largest cities, heads of selected professional education organizations, outstanding community leaders, university researchers, directors of some ERIC clearinghouses, regional laboratories, major foundations which contribute to educational programs, editors of education columns, and other individuals identified as being knowledgeable in the area of compensatory education, in order to identify the most successful or promising programs. The listing in this document includes basic information about those programs for which questionnaires were returned. Programs are listed by state and city. The titles of some projects have been altered slightly in order to give a clearer indication of the nature of the program. The date following the title indicates the longevity of the program. The ED numbers refer to documents which were listed in the indexes of "Research in Education" during the last two and one-half years. The name, address, and telephone number of a director, supervisor, or other contact person is provided for each program in case further information is desired. (Author/JM)
