Summaries of research results concerning school-age children and youth are provided in four sections of this report. Each of the four substantive sections focuses on one of the following aspects of schooling: curriculum, classroom and school management, career preparation, and special needs and programs. The pages of the summary are organized in a column format: the first column lists the findings, the second gives bibliographic information, and the third provides interpretations of the findings. Very brief descriptions of curricula are occasionally included. (RH)
