Concern for student improvement and recognition of the importance of individualizing instruction provided the rationale for this project. A definite need was seen for paraprofessionals to help teachers with instruction, not just with clerical work. The project was organized so that teacher aides received on-the-job experience concurrently with their own college work. Three goals were identified: to recruit, select, and train aides for grades K through twelve; to provide workshops for master teachers to help them use and supervise their aides; and to distinguish clearly the responsibilities of aides and teachers. The report includes descriptions of the organization of the project, the recruitment of candidates, the selection of aides and teachers, the orientation of the teachers, the preservice and inservice curriculum, a teachers' workshop, an evaluation of the program, a data and summary section, placement and followup, and an appendix. The project was judged successful--of the 18 students graduated, 67 percent have been placed on the job for 1971 and 1972 and 33 percent are returning to school. (DI)
