              UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
                OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
            FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND IMPROVEMENT


Over the last decade there has been much discussion, bolstered by
impressive statistical studies, about the failures of American
education and the need for reform. In response to these concerns
and to give impetus to efforts to improve education, President
Bush and the State governors developed a set of national goals to
be met by the year 2000.

While much work needs to be done on how to meet these goals, we
in the Department of Education have documented evidence about
certain programs and practices that are working successfully in
schools across the country. Many of these are to be found as part
of this impressive catalogue of National Diffusion Network (NDN)
programs.

One of the major goals of the Office of Educational Research and
Improvement is to make proven programs available to schools as
they respond to the challenge of reform. The NDN is a principal
vehicle for doing this. NDN fulfills one of the most important
missions of the Department Of Education--disseminating results
about what works in education. Educational Programs That Work
(EPTW) describes projects in the NDN system, and it should be an
invaluable resource for educators. The programs listed  have been
installed and continue to be implemented successfully by schools
of every type--rural, urban, and suburban. They serve every kind
of student, including students with disabilities, economically
disadvantaged students, gifted students, students with limited
English-speaking proficiency, and functionally illiterate adults.

What sets NDN programs apart is that they have been subjected to
a rigorous process of  evaluation and have been proven effective.
Every program has been examined by the Department of Education's
Program Effectiveness Panel. Approval from the Panel means a
program has satisfactorily demonstrated important and replicable
results through its evaluation data.  The validation date is
indicated in bold type at the bottom of each page.

This listing of NDN programs is, in a sense, incomplete. We
realize the need for continued collaboration with such programs
as Chapter 1, the Fund for the Improvement and Reform of Schools
and Teaching, the Javits Act Gifted and Talented Program,
Vocational and Adult Education, and the National Science
Foundation to cultivate important new additions to the NDN
portfolio. By encouraging rigorous evaluation of developmental
programs, we can broaden the array of exemplary programs that can
be made available to schools.

As educators respond to increasing demands for better schools and
for more focused accountability, NDN programs offer a unique
benefit: many have been created by practicing educators to serve
the needs of their own students. Thus, they combine strong
evidence of effectiveness with an accurate sense of the real-life
conditions under which these projects operate in classrooms. To
assure continuing quality, NDN provides training and follow-up
technical assistance to the schools implementing its programs.
Schools selecting NDN programs thus conserve funds and time by
drawing on the collective experience of many others who have
adopted similar programs. They avoid "re-inventing the wheel." 

NDN will continue to play a significant role in helping educators
meet our national education goals over the coming decade. As you
consider the rich array of options in this edition of EPTW, I
encourage you to not only look at individual programs that
address a specific need, but to consider adopting multiple
programs that together can transform a school environment. Singly
or in combination, NDN programs can be powerful agents of
change--within individual classrooms and throughout entire
schools and school districts.

Assistant Secretary


               NATIONAL DISSEMINATION STUDY GROUP

The National Dissemination Study Group (NDSG), a professional
association of educational disseminators, the U.S. Department of
Education, and Sopris West, Inc., are pleased to bring you the
official catalogue of National Diffusion Network Programs-
Educational Programs That Work. For 17 years, the NDN has
provided schools throughout the country with a wide selection of
exemplary programs and practices. The National Diffusion Network
(NDN) is a system that works.

This catalogue provides a plethora of program options to meet
locally identified priorities. Personnel representing these
programs are eager to provide inservice training and technical
assistance to schools electing to implement NDN programs. In an
effort to maintain and improve the NDN as a relevant, responsive,
and effective school improvement vehicle, professional educators,
members of Congress, the Department of Education, and NDSG
continue to work collaboratively.

A quality education for all children is America's number one
priority. The six education goals articulated by the President
and the nation's governors constitute a plan for excellence that
can only be accomplished with a commitment from all segments of
our society-industry; local, state, and national governments;
educators; the public; and parents. The NDN's successful
seventeen-year history demonstrates that it is ready to
contribute to fulfilling this commitment.

Members of the National Dissemination Study Group have worked
with educators throughout the country and wish to applaud
America's teachers and administrators for their dedication and
hard work, for their willingness to try new ideas, and for their
ongoing quest for excellence. We feel privileged to be part of
that quest.

Patricia S. Olson
President, National Dissemination Study Group


                          INTRODUCTION

The National Dissemination Study Group and Sopris West are
pleased to present the sixteenth edition of Educational Programs
That Work, the annual National Diffusion Network catalog of
exemplary educational programs. Current descriptions of most
programs described in previous editions are included together
with new programs approved for national dissemination since
publication of the sixteenth edition in 1990.

The National Diffusion Network has begun to align its efforts
with the National Goals for Education in order to maintain its
history of making proven cost-effective programs available to
schools as they strive to address current issues in education. 
The goals have been reprinted on the NATIONAL GOALS FOR EDUCATION
SECTION.  The grids summarizing project services preceding each
section have been expanded to identify the primary goals
addressed by the projects.

The term "exemplary program 15 conferred only alter a project has
been approved by the Department of Education's (either the Joint
Dissemination Review Panel [JDRP]* or the Program Effectiveness
Panel [PEP]). Approval by the Panel means that Panel members have
examined objective evidence of effectiveness submitted by the
developer of the program and are convinced that the program has
met its stated objectives at the original development or
demonstration site. In addition, the program developer has proved
that the program will meet the educational needs of others in
similar locations. Positive endorsement of a project's claims of
effectiveness by a majority of the attending Panel members
constitutes approval, and a date of validation is assigned. The
PEP/JDRP number and approval date for each project can be found
at the bottom of each project profile. Projects that continue
development and submit additional evidence of effectiveness to
the Panel carry two validation dates. In addition, some projects
over four years old which have undergone the recertification
process are identified at the bottom of the page with a
recertification date. Space does not permit the inclusion of a
project's evidence of effectiveness in this publication. Should
the reader be interested, however, evaluation information is
available from the individual projects. Projects which have been
added since the sixteenth edition are listed in the Questions and
Answers Section, on (National Goals for Education). All projects
that are approved after the publication of this edition of
Educational Programs That Work will be described in the next
edition.

The National Diffusion Network is dedicated to helping local
school districts, private schools, intermediate service agencies,
state departments of education, and post-secondary institutions
in their continuing efforts to improve educational opportunities
and achievement for all. To promote the transfer of successful
programs from the development sites, the Department of Education,
supports the National Diffusion Network (NDN). The NDN is a
nationwide system established to help those involved in education
acquire the materials and assistance they need to incorporate
proven exemplary practices into their own programs.

The NDN operates through three kinds of projects-Developer
Demonstrators, Dissemination Processes, and Facilitators.
Developer Demonstrators are exemplary projects that provide
training, materials and technical assistance to those who adopt
their programs. The Dissemination Processes are the other
category of exemplary programs that provide information,
instructional materials and services about specific content
areas, or professional development based on needs assessments. A
project profile for each operating Developer Demonstrator and
Dissemination Process Project are presented in this catalog. NDN
Facilitators (one or more in every state and a private  school
facilitator) are the principal links between
Developer/Demonstrators Dissemination Processes and those seeking
new programs. Facilitators help to identify suitable NDN programs
and assist with training and installation. A list of NDN
Facilitators follows this introduction. Facilitators should be
contacted for additional information on any program described in
this catalog.

The National Diffusion Network was established upon the belief
that there are few problems encountered by schools that have not
been solved successfully in some other location. The primary
function of the NDN is to disseminate information about approved
programs so that educational agencies with special needs may
choose from an array of programs that particular program which
meets the agencies' needs, philosophy and resources. By offering
a wide variety of programs, the Network provides many options
through which LEAs and private schools may solve their own unique
problems without "reinventing the wheel."

Since its inception in 1974, the NDN has grown from 76 to over
440 programs that were developed in large part by classroom
teachers.  NDN programs have helped learners with many different
needs--disabled preschoolers, disadvantaged inner-city children
in primary grades, high-achieving high school students, and
out-of-school adults, to name a few. There are NDN programs for
many content areas, ranging from the basic skills of reading,
mathematics, and oral and written communications to vocational
and career education, consumer education, and physical education.
Other NDN programs provide training for teachers in instructional
methods and classroom management techniques. Still others help
school administrators with a variety of management problems. In
recent years, the NDN has responded to critical emerging national
needs by identifying and making available exemplary practices in
those areas. Adopters of NDN programs range from small single
classrooms in remote rural areas to large metropolitan districts.
The impact of the NDN on American education has been enormous.
The most recent statistics available indicate that in the 1988-89
year alone, over 29,000 public and private schools in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands adopted NDN programs. As a result about 82,700 teachers
and administrators received inservice training and an estimated
3.3 million students benefited.

Ave., Washington, DC 20208-5645. (202) 219-2134.

* The JDRP underwent reorganization and a name change.  The new
name of  the review panel is the Program Effectiveness Panel
(PEP).  The titles JDRP and PEP are used throughout this
document.  If JDRP is used, it means that the project was
approved for dissemination prior to 1987. PEP approval means
approval during or after 1987. 


                  NATIONAL GOALS FOR EDUCATION

                        GOAL 1: READINESS

By the year 2000, all children in America will start school ready
to learn.

Objectives:

o    All disadvantaged children will have access to high quality
     and developmentally appropriate pre-school programs that
     help prepare children for school.

o    Every parent in America will be a child's first teacher and
     devote time each day helping his or her pre-school child
     learn; parents will have access to the training and support
     they need.

o    Children will receive the nutrition and health care needed 
     to arrive at school with healthy minds and bodies, and the
     number of low-birthweight babies will be significantly
     reduced through enhanced parental health systems.

                    GOAL 2: SCHOOL COMPLETION

By the year 2000, the high-school graduation rate will increase
to at least 90 percent.

Objectives:

o    The nation must dramatically reduce its dropout rate and 75
     percent of those students who drop out will successfUlly
     complete a high-school degree or its equivalent.

o    The gap in high-school graduation rates between American
     students from minority backgrounds and their non-minority
     counterparts will be eliminated.

           GOAL 3: STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND CITIZENSHIP

By the year 2000, American students will leave grades 4, 8, and
12 having demonstrated competency in challenging subject matter
including English, mathematics, science, history, and geography,
and every school in America will ensure that all students learn
to use their minds well, so they may be prepared for responsible
citizenship, further learning, and productive employment in our
modern economy.

Objectives:

o    The academic performance of elementary and secondary
     students will increase significantly in every quartile, and
     the distribution of minority students in each level will
     more closely reflect the student population as a whole.

o    The percentage of students who demonstrate the ability to
     reason, solve problems, apply knowledge, and write and
     communicate effectively will increase substantially.

o    All students will be involved in activities that promote and

     demonstrate good citizenship, community services, and
     personal responsibility.

o    The percentage of students who are competent in more than 
     one language will substantially increase.

o    All students will be knowledgeable about the cultural
     diversity of this nation and about the world community.

                 GOAL 4: MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE

By the year 2000, U.S. students will be first in the world in
mathematics and science achievement.

Objectives:

o    Math and science education will be strengthened throughout
     the system, including  special emphasis in the early grades.

o    The number of teachers with a substantive background in
     mathematics and science will increase by 50 percent.

o    The number of U.S. graduate and undergraduate students,
     especially women and minorities, who complete degrees in
     mathematics, science, and engineering will increase
     significantly.

          GOAL 5: ADULT LITERACY AND LIFELONG LEARNING

By the year 2000, every adult American will be literate and will
possess the skills necessary to compete in a global economy and
exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

Objectives:

o    Every major American business will be involved in
     Strengthening the connection between education and work.

o    All workers will have the opportunity to acquire the
     knowledge and skills needed to adapt to constantly emerging
     new technologies, new work methods, and new markets through
     public and private vocational, technical, workplace, or
     other innovative programs.

o    The number of quality programs that are designed to serve
     more effectively the needs of the growing number of
     part-time and mid-career students will increase
     significantly.

o    We will substantially increase the proportion of those
     qualified students, especially minorities, who enter
     college; who complete at least two years; and who complete
     their degree programs. 

o    The proportion of college graduates who demonstrate an
     advanced ability to think critically, communicate
     effectively, and solve problems in areas such as the natural
     sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities will
     increase substantially.

        GOAL 6: SAFE, DISCIPLINED, AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS

By the year 2000, every school in America will be free of drugs
and violence and will offer a disciplined environment conducive
to learning.

Objectives:

o    Every school will implement a firm and fair policy on use,
     possession, and distribution of drugs and alcohol.

o    Parents, businesses, and community organizations will work
     together to ensure that schools are a safe haven for all
     children. 

o    Every school district will develop a comprehensive K-12 
     drug-and alcohol-prevention education program. Drug and
     alcohol curriculum should be taught as an integral part of
     health education. In addition, community-based teams should
     be organized to provide students and teachers with needed
     support.

                      QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The series of questions and answers that follow will help you to
become more familiar with this edition of Educational Programs
That Work. A few minutes spent reviewing these questions and
answers will enable you to appreciate its full potential.

Q.   What is the purpose of Educational Programs That Work?

A.   Educational Programs That Work is an overview of all
     educational programs approved for national dissemination by
     the Department of Education (PEP/JDRP). It provides basic
     information on exemplary products and practices to those who
     wish to improve their educational programs and services. The
     catalog introduces the National Diffusion Network (NDN), its
     Facilitators, Developer Demonstrators, and Dissemination
     Processes, and their services to schools, institutions     
     and other agencies that may wish to adopt these programs.

Q.   What is in Educational Programs That Work?

A.   Educational Programs That Work describes programs approved 
     by the PEP/JDRP since its inception in 1974. Programs fall
     into three categories: active projects, projects with
     limited activity and projects with services no longer
     available.  Active projects constitute by far the largest
     group. A one-page project profile for each active project is
     included in this edition. A half-page profile is devoted to
     "Limited Activity" projects, while "Projects No Longer
     Offering Services" can be referenced in list form in Section
     P of the catalog.  Some projects are currently receiving
     dissemination funds from the NDN to assist them in providing
     services to schools and colleges across the nation. These
     projects are identified by an asterisk in the
     section-divider listings.

Q.   How is Educational Programs That Work organized?

A.   The projects are divided into 18 sections and then arranged 

     alphabetically by project title. Each section groups
     projects with a common focus. The sections are as follows:
     
     Section A: Adult Education
     Section B: Administration/Organizational Arrangements     
     Section C: Alternative Schools/Programs/Bilingual/Migrant   

     Section D: Language Arts/Writing/Literature
     Section E: Mathematics
     Section F: Multidisciplinary Skills
     Section G: Reading
     Section H: Career/Vocational Education
     Section I: Early Childhood/Parent Involvement
     Section J: Gifted and Talented/Technology/Special Interests 

     Section K: Health/Physical Education
     Section L: Preservice/Inservice Training
     Section M: Science
     Section N: Social Science
     Section O: Special Education/Learning Disabilities
     Section P: Dissemination Processes
     Section Q: Projects which no longer offer services
     Section R: Indices
     
Q.   How can I locate a description for a den program if I know 
     only the name of the program?

A.   The alphabetical index (Section R, Index III) lists all 
     PEP/JDRP approved programs by title.

Q.   How can I locate programs for a given content or problem 
     area?

A.   To help you locate programs for a given area, selected ERIC
     (Educational Resources Information Center) descriptors have
     been assigned to all active projects described in the
     catalog. These descriptors act as headings for the
     alphabetical ERIC descriptor index
     (Section R, Index II).

Q.   How can I find a description for a given program if I know 
     only the state in which it is located?

A.   The index of exemplary projects by state (Section R, Index 
     I) lists all PEP/JDRP approved  programs by the state in
     which they are located.

Q.   How can I make a quick preliminary review of the programs in
     each section?

A.   A capsule phrase that summarizes the exemplary program 
     follows each title in the sectional tables of contents. See
     Section A-1, for example: the first entry, Adult Performance
     Level (APL) is described as A competency-based system of
     education that combines the diagnosis, prescription,
     teaching, evaluation, and credentialing of life-coping
     skills.

Q.   If I have a previous edition of Educational Programs bat 
     Work, how can I find what new projects have been added?

A.   Projects approved by the JDRP since the publication of 
     Edition 16 are listed on the following page.

Q.   If I want additional information, such as details on costs 
     of installing an NDN program in my school, how do I obtain
     it?

A.   All entries include the name of a contact person who can 
     answer questions about the program. A mailing address and a
     telephone number are included in the contact statement. NDN
     Facilitators can also give detailed information.

Q.   How can I get more information about the NDN?

A.   Contact your state or regional NDN Facilitator to learn more
     about the NDN and its programs. A description of the
     Facilitator's role and a list of Facilitators follows. You
     may also contact the federal office that administers the
     National Diffusion Network:

          NATIONAL DIFFUSION NETWORK (NDN) FACILITATORS

To help public and private schools and districts identify
suitable National Diffusion Network programs, the National
Diffusion Network, federal sponsor of the NDN, supports
Facilitator projects in every state, the District of Columbia,
the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa,  Northern
Mariana Islands and Palau.

Facilitators work with schools and institutions to define their
problems, determine which NDN programs hold promise for solving
those problems, and help with formal adoption of NDN programs.
Facilitators can supply additional information on all of the
programs described in this catalog, and they can arrange for
demonstrations. When a school or institution decides to adopt an
NDN program, Facilitators can make arrangements for training.
Many facilitators also provide follow-up and perform or oversee
monitoring and evaluation at adopter sites.

NDN Facilitators are based in local school districts,
intermediate service agencies, state education agencies and
private nonprofit organizations. The funds that Facilitators can
draw on vary from state to state, and their funding policies vary
as well. In some states, schools and districts that adopt NDN
programs can be reimbursed by the Facilitator for such start-up
costs as instructional materials and teacher training. In other
states, the costs of travel to awareness conferences or
demonstration sites can be covered by the Facilitator. Readers
are encouraged to telephone or visit their NDN Facilitators to
learn what services are available.

Highlights

Recognizing the incredible "busy-ness" of our state's teachers
and administrators, The Maine Facilitator Project's approach for
the 1990's is to connect with the state's other service providers
in order to help educators minimize their out-of-school
commitments. We try to embed awareness sessions in
content-specific conferences; we overview NDN programs during
after-school staff meetings; we piggyback training with regional
curriculum meetings. Our hope is to continue facilitating good
NDN adoptions in a way that accommodates schools with shrinking
time and resources.

Highlights

The Wyoming Project, WINS, seeks to respond to schools and
districts working on effective schools models, with attempts to
restructure schools to meet the needs of a global society.  For
schools/districts wishing staff training in one of the NDN
innovative projects, WINS will fund travel and per diem expenses
for training and implementation of a project.  The district is
asked to purchase supplies and materials  for training and
implementation, and the consultant fee if the developer of the
project does not have funding for that expenses.  Other
arrangements are possible depending on demonstrated need.

Project emphasis is on thinking skills, creativity and
outcomes-based projects to meet the new state accreditation
standards. Awareness sessions are best scheduled the first week
in October when all subject areas meet for the Fall Conferences.

school organizations. Finally, the Project represents the
perspective of the private school community to the NDN.
