Handbook of Effective Migrant Education Practices. Volume 1. Findings

摘要

The document is Volume I of the final report of a study that was conducted by Development Associates, Inc., between 1987 and 1989 for the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Planning, Budget, and Evaluation. The volume presents the general findings from an analysis of efforts to improve the performance of migrant students in elementary and secondary public schools. Data were collected from 148 migrant education programs which offered a range of instructional services for migrant students and which were geographically dispersed throughout the country. First, telephone interviews were conducted with representatives from each of these sites; then, case studies were conducted at 16 sites. As a result, the report is based on information about diverse efforts being undertaken to improve the educational opportunities for migrant students.
