The Sample for the Sustaining Effects Study and Projections of its Characteristic to the National Population. Technical Report No. 1 from the Study of Sustaining Effects of Compensatory Education on Basic Skills.
Hoepfner, Ralph; And Others
Sampling techniques used in "A Study of the Sustaining Effects of Compensatory Education" are described in detail. The Sustaining Effects Study is a large, multi-faceted study of issues related to the compensatory education of elementary school students. Public elementary schools that include grades between one and six are eligible for the national study. The results of a survey completed by 4,750 school principals are included. The data provide accurate descriptions of the nation's public elementary schools in terms of: (1) school characteristics, such as urbanism, enrollment, and range of grades provided; (2) types of services provided to the students, such as summer programs; and (3) student characteristics, such as race, achievement level, and economic status. Interrelationships among these characteristics are also presented. (Author/MV)
