Project Creating a New Approach to Learning (CANAL) was established under the agreement between the United States and the Chicago (Illinois) Board of Education to relieve the effects of segregation in Chicago schools. This report summarizes the participation of CANAL schools in training activities offered by Project CANAL from February 2 through June 18, 1990. The training is seen as essential for implementing the project's model for school-based management based on principles of shared decision making. Training sessions included total site training for the 41 CANAL schools, as follows: (1) three workshops for parent liaisons; (2) a student workshop; (3) three Paideia (Socratic teaching method) seminars; (4) three workshops for school-based evaluators, core planning team (CPT) chairs, and process evaluators; (5) two sessions for high school department chairs; (6) three sessions for high school principals; (7) three sessions for elementary school principals; (8) a workshop for school engineers; (9) a workshop for other participants; and (10) workshops for CPTs from all 41 schools. Attendance data from these training sessions indicate no improvement over past experience in participation by CPT members. The limited participation of principals, teachers, ancillary staff, parents, and community members suggests a serious disjunction between the training plans of Project CANAL and the commitment of CANAL schools to participate in these activities. There are 23 tables of attendance data and an appendix detailing the project budget. (SLD)
