The purpose of the Students and Teachers Develop English Curriculum project (an Elementary-Secondary Education Act Title III program) was to encourage the adoption of innovative curriculum units and instructional strategies in District of Columbia public schools. This booklet describes program background and objectives, methods and procedures of implementation, and evaluative findings. Teachers experienced in program goals and teaching strategies cooperated with participating teachers, both within schools and in centralized workshops. The results of this approach to information exchange were significant change in participating instructors' teaching methods and improvement of students' reading, writing, spelling, listening, and interpersonal skills.
