This book gives detailed reports on twenty-five projects in teacher training, specifically designed to prepare teachers for teaching disadvantaged children. These reports give a comprehensive mixture of local problems and their solutions which can provide patterns or models for problems in any area. Part I describes the projects in terms of their objectives, and evaluates success in meeting those objectives. Part II offers the findings from questionnaires and interviews with teachers who participated in these programs, concluding with a chapter devoted to recommendations and new models. (Author/DM)
