District Facilitator Project, E.C.I.A. Chapter 2, Final Evaluation Report, 1985-1986.
District of Columbia Public Schools, Washington, DC. Div. of Quality Assurance.
The District Facilitator Project (DFP) assists local schools to improve their programs by linking them with exemplary projects in other school districts around the country. DFP provides coordination, technical assistance, and other services to aid implementation in the new location. The following objectives were stated for the program: (1) a majority of teachers trained in the National Diffusion Network (NDN) Micro Math program and a majority of teachers trained in NDN's Diagnostic Prescriptive Arithmetic (DPA) program will implement the programs during the 1985-86 school year; and (2) students in these programs will demonstrated increased mathematics achievement through test scores. The percentile rank of Micro Math students and fourth grade DPA students remained above the national norm, although only seventh- and eighth-grade Micro Math students increased their percentile ranks from 1985 to 1986. Only one-third of teachers trained in Micro Math and two-thirds of those trained in DPA implemented the programs. The following recommendations are made: (1) training and participation of teachers in special programs should be considered before changing their position, grade level, or school; and (2) teachers committed to implementing a program should be selected to receive training in the program.
