This handbook on Chapter 1 was developed for public school teachers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The first section deals with Chapter 1 regulations and guidelines for: identifying eligible schools and attendance areas; identifying and selecting eligible children; and the participation of nonpublic schools in the Chapter 1 program. The following section gives guidelines for implementation of the program and covers the areas of staff utilization, scheduling, parent notification, substitute service, recordkeeping, supplies, materials and equipment, monitoring, evaluation, and parent advisory councils (PAC's). The remainder of the handbook consists of separate sections giving an overview of and program objectives for the primary program in math for grades 2-8, and in reading for grades 2-8 and 9-12. Two support programs--social work and counseling--are also described. An appendix contains copies of a monitoring form and various PAC-related forms. (CMG)
