Abstract | This document presents the following eight-component framework of the Commission on Chapter 1 for restructuring the Chapter 1 program: (1) have states set clear, high standards for all students; (2) devise new systems for schools to assess progress toward standards; (3) inform parents about how well their children are progressing toward standards and how they can help; (4) invest heavily in teachers, principals, and other adults in schools so that all students meet standards; (5) match funding to need, and assure equity; (6) replace accounting for dollars with accountability for results; (7) integrate health and social service support in schools and school districts for Chapter 1 families; and (8) have states reward schools that progress and change those that do not progress. Part 1 discusses issues and rationale for the recommendations. Part 2 summarizes the proposed Chapter 1 framework based on the eight components. Part 3 presents the Chapter 1 framework and commentary. Included in both Parts 2 and 3 are the following parameters: congressional findings and mission; standards; eligibility and fiscal requirements of local and state education agencies; help and capacity-building; parent empowerment; health and social services; assessment; enforcement (benefits and sanctions); and research, development, evaluation, and dissemination. Part 4 presents supplementary statements by Henry M. Levin, George F. Madaus, Joe Nathan, Delia Pompa, Paul Weckstein, Anne Wheelock, Robert Witherspoon, Sharon Robinson, and Bella Rosenberg, all members of the Commission on Chapter 1. (RLC) |
