The Title I Teacher-Trainee Program was begun in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1971. The purpose of the 5 year program was to improve the quality of public education by increasing the number and quality of graduate native teachers specializing in early childhood education. At the same time the program aimed to supply a large force of teaching assistants to afford improved individualized instruction at a primary level. This report evaluates the processes and accomplishments of the program. Requirements for admission, academic courses and workshop activities, and the involvement and performance of the teacher-trainees are described. The participating public schools and the roles of their students and staff members are mentioned inasmuch as they relate to the Title I program. Also included in this report are sample forms used for the evaluation of teacher-trainee performance. Results of the program have been mixed, and recommendations are offered for making future programs in the Virgin Islands more effective. (GC)
