Also covered are staffing patterns for the first three years of the program, special purpose grants, participation of private school children and teachers, program coordination, accessibility of loaned materials, management activity, school media personnel, staff development, selection of materials, standards for instructional materials, and program evaluation. The second report describes the use of Title III funds to strengthen instruction in science, mathematics, foreign languages, and the humanities and arts through the purchase of equipment and materials, minor remodeling, and through state supervisory and related services. Major topics include priorities, program coordination, adequacy of equipment and reimbursement, improved instructional patterns and teaching techniques, curriculum improvement, student achievement, and program evaluation.
