Urban Management Curriculum Development Project. Volume II: Appendices 1-5

摘要

The Urban Management Curriculum Development Project was a 3 - year program to develop, test, and distribute new curriculum and training materials for urban managers and those training to become urban managers. At the start of the project, a selection committee reviewed proposals from 177 universities, State and local governments, and private consultants. About $700,000 was distributed to 15 subcontractors to develop curriculum materials on such topics as intergovernmental relations, ethical dilemmas, quantitative methods in urban management, and labor relations for urban managers. These appendices contain the final contract between the National Training and Development Service, which administered the program, and HUD. They also contain the original detailed management plan, letters and other documents relevant to its revisions, and the final plan. A 24 - member Project Advisory Board provided guidance, and individual Board members acted as advisors to subcontractors. A third appendix contains materials related to this Board's functions. A fourth appendix contains letters and resumes pertaining to the selection of a project director, while the final section contains 27 documents related to the evaluation of the Project. These evaluation documents include letters, standards and procedures for evaluating the educational materials, and progress reports.
