The objective of the three phases of this institute was to change the attitudes of the participating school administrators, school board members, community leaders, counselors, and teachers so that they would be willing to accept responsibility for dealing with the problems of school desegregation in their respective school districts. Phase I brought the participants together for a series of lectures and seminars; Phase II was a 3-week period of intensive study of the background of school desegregation plans and programs; Phase III was a followup period and took place in the participants' schools. Both the evidence of observers and the judgment of the participants subscribe to the effectiveness of the program. (EF)
