This Local Education Agency (LEA) Self Analysis Instrument for ESEA Title I is one of the products developed and validated by the SEA (State Educational Agencies) Management of Compensatory Education, a multistate project funded through ESEA Title V-505. An additional product of the project was a LEA Process Model said to support the self-evaluation instrument by identifying the "key" processes or activities that must be accomplished if improvement is desired as the result of self-analysis. Representatives from each State Educational Agency, their selected Local Education Agencies, the U.S. Office of Education, and the Communication Technology Corporation of Marlton, New Jersey formulated this instrument for self-analyzing the effectiveness of the administration of an ESEA Title I program in a Local Education Agency. The instrument contains eight sections representing aspects of program administration: Organization, Program Design, Management, Evaluation, Dissemination, SEA/LEA Training, Technical Assistance, and Legislation. Each section contains a grouping of criterion statements that identify what was believed to be ideal administrative practices for the four recognized phases of Title I program administration: Pre-Application, Application Preparation, Application Review and Approval, and Program Operation. Sections on Dissemination, Training, and Assistance contain criterion statements dealing specifically with whether bilingual/bicultural needs of populations served are being met in these areas.
