This manual presents a comparative analysis of New Jersey's requirements for "Thorough and Efficient" (T & E) education and the processes of Individually Guided Education (IGE). It is designed to provide guidance to IGE schools and districts in responding to specific program needs that might occur under the development of a T & E system at the district or school level of management. The contents of the manual are arranged in synoptic fashion, so that the requirements of the T & E process steps can be matched against the appropriate IGE responses/outcomes/objectives. Throughout the manual, T & E material is depicted on left-hand pages, and corresponding IGE material is depicted on right-hand pages. The appendix includes a synoptic glossary of parallel T & E and IGE terms, as well as bibliographic references for both T & E and IGE materials. These materials are coded by title throughout the manual. (Author/JG)
