In 1994, Congress directed the Office of Educational Research and Improvement, U.S. Department of Education, to establish panels to evaluate educational programs and recommend to the Secretary of Education those programs that should be designated as exemplary or promising. The purpose of these panels was and is to provide practitioners, policymakers, and parents with solid information on the quality and effectiveness of programs and materials so they can make better-informed decisions in their efforts to improve the quality of student learning. Seven criteria were developed for judging program efficacy and quality. A total of 124 programs were reviewed under a two-stage review process established by the Safe, Disciplined, and Drug-Free Schools Expert Panel. This publication provides descriptions of the 9 exemplary and 33 promising programs selected by the Expert Panel in 2001. Contact information is also provided. The sections "Program Description" and "Professional Development Resources and Program Costs" were prepared based on information provided by the developers at the time they submitted their programs for consideration. The remaining sections "Program Quality" and "Evidence of Efficacy" are based on the assessments of the reviewers and panelists. (RT)
