Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory Program Report. Region 6. Rural Technical Assistance Center

摘要

Region 6 Rural Technical Assistance Center (R-TAC) provides Chapter 1 technical assistance to state departments of education and rural districts in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming. During the contract period, Region 6 R-TAC maintained an upward trend of service delivery to state departments of education and rural districts in the region. R-TAC staff provided assistance in evaluation and program improvement as well as such related areas as curriculum/instruction and parent involvement. Services were provided to client groups in the seven-state region through onsite activities (e.g., workshops and consultations) and telephone and mail contacts. In addition to direct services to Chapter 1 clients, Region 6 R-TAC played a coordinating role in the conduct of a national study on enrollment decline in rural districts. Region 6 R-TAC also produced a manual for rural Chapter 1 personnel and developed a set of workshops on Chapter 1 early childhood education projects. The report provides information on the level of service and outcomes of service delivery for the 21-month contract period of October 1, 1989 through June 30, 1991.
