THE NEW YORK STATE MIGRANT EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 1968 IS A 7-PHASE PROGRAM. FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN, SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND ARITHMETIC RECEIVE TOP PRIORITY. SUMMER WORKSHOPS ARE CONDUCTED TO PREPARE TEACHERS TO RELATE MORE SATISFACTORILY TO MIGRANT CHILDREN. REGIONAL INSERVICE WORKSHOPS WITH EXPERT CONSULTANTS ARE CONDUCTED DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. TWO PHASES DEAL WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH HEAVY MIGRANT ENROLLMENTS IN THE FALL AND AGAIN IN THE EARLY SPRING. AN ORIENTATION PROGRAM CONSISTING OF PRESCHOOL CLASSES FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES WILL PERMIT PROPER PLACEMENT OF MIGRANT CHILDREN. A TEACHER AIDE PROGRAM WITH INSERVICE TRAINING WORKSHOPS IS NECESSARY TO ASSIST TEACHERS IN BOTH SUMMER AND REGULAR SCHOOL TERM PROGRAMS. (JEH)
