This concise, easily understood manual of information and resources concerning the migrant education program is intended to encourage more effective use of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS). The first section is written to familiarize non-migrant funded personnel with MSRTS health and education records. The section includes definitions of terms, national goals for migrant education, and line-by-line explanations of information provided on MSRTS forms. The second section, on health, examines the relationship between health and academic achievement; points out migrant health risks; explains the use of the MSRTS record to insure continuity of health care; and encourages the development of a team concept, with parents, teachers, health care providers, and recruiters each assuming responsibility for the migrant child's health care. An outline for a model health workshop is presented, and the health care delivery systems of five states are described. The education section (the third section) shows how the MSRTS record can facilitate effective instruction in reading, mathematics, oral language, writing, and early childhood and provides sample scope and sequence of skills, suggestions for instruction, and activities and materials that have been used successfully with migrant students. The appendix contains technical information, including health screening standards and information resources for health problems. (JHZ)
