The material is multicultural and sensitive to the cultural, linguistic, and regional differences among Spanish speakers in the United States, and can be used by large or small groups or by individual students. The material is appropriate for use in social studies or language classrooms. Each teacher's guide contains lesson plans, including objectives, materials, content, motivation, follow-up activities, and evaluation; directions for games, supplementary activities and an evaluation instrument; an annotated bibliography; and annotated lists of filmstrips, posters, photos, games and puzzles, coloring books, curriculum guides and other resources, with source given for each item.

(1981). A Systematic Approach for Measuring Sustained Effect and for Comparing Compensatory Education Programs Using Achievement Test Data. The system discussed in this paper was successfully used to track approximately 17,000 students participating in various educational programs and to measure their gains through achievement test results. It was developed for a school district with twelve supplementary instruction programs, and has been in use since the 1975-76 school year. The evaluation method was used to fulfill federal reporting requirements and to conduct longitudinal studies in measuring the impact of instructional programs. Programs in which kindergarten through high school students were tracked included: Title I, Title VII, State Bilingual, Migrant, and Experimental Schools. Inservice training was conducted to familiarize teachers and counselors with the materials required in the process. Greater speed in reporting test results, and increased specificity of scores for each student helped to alleviate teacher resistance to the extra record keeping involved. Appendices include a list of references, examples of scoring sheets, program code numbers, a list of the scoring codes, their corresponding programs, and the matching design.
