The Training Program for Urban School Research and Evaluation Personnel was a highly selective program for preparing partially-trained students for research work in urban education. The University of Chicago held a proposal competition for students in the Department of Education and related departments. From among those submitting research proposals, seven were selected for participation in the program. The program brought together these seven students with those of our faculty most intimately involved with research on urban education. Each student conducted an independent empirical investigation into an important urban education question. The seminars used the resources of the University of Chicago and the City of Chicago to search out and bring to bear expertise on the issue under discussion. All students had a supervised practicum experience where they shared experiences and insights with faculty members and other students in the group. Three products came out of the program. The seven individual research reports represent the research outcomes and contributions to knowledge of the program. The organization of the program as described above represents the model development outcome. The trained urban school researchers are the "people" output of the experiment. (Author/JM)
