The District Facilitator Project (DFP) works through the National Diffusion Network (NDN) to assist local schools in improving their programs by linking them with exemplary projects from around the country. Evaluation of the project in operation in the District of Columbia public schools in 1982-83 showed that all the project's objectives were met. The DFP coordinator facilitated the training of local school personnel and provided technical assistance to schools installing NDN programs, many of which were in the areas of reading, mathematics, and educational technology. The majority of those trained implemented the NDN programs in a fashion consistent with expectations. Significant student gains were observed in two programs for which impact data were available.
