This report covers proceedings of a conference designed to help state Title I staff carry out their responsibilities under Chapter 1 of the Educational Consolidation and Improvement Act to provide technical assistance to local districts. The general purposes of the seminar were (1) to provide participants with research-based tools that would help them assist local staff to focus on several important aspects of Title I programs and (2) to inform participants of resources that can be used to help district staff improve the basic skills component of their programs. The report's longest section describes the three conference sessions--providing technical assistance and using resource bases, approaches to effective inservice, and classroom management--as well as related small-group presentations and mini-sessions. Participant concerns, issues raised during the sessions, and suggestions for followup activities are outlined, and conference evaluation results are summarized. Appendixes include the seminar agenda, a list of presenters, a directory of participants, and session evaluation data. (MJL)
