Abstract	This study is concerned with the effectiveness of teacher aides in the eight Indianapolis Model Cities Schools as perceived by themselves and others. These paraprofessional personnel were hired for two basic purposes: (1) to provide additional help to teachers and children in the classroom, and (2) to provide career opportunities for a limited number of indigenous residents from the school attendance areas. These two basic purposes were resultant from the apparent need for additional adults to whom children could relate and interact in a positive way during the school day, as well as an approach which provided employment opportunities as an encouragement for furthering the formal educational background of those hired as teacher aides. Aides who were hired from this commitment were those whom Model Cities School personnel thought would benefit both the children in the schools and themselves as teacher aides. These determinations were made primarily upon the basis of personal interviews. The formal educational background of those hired varied greatly. Some were high school graduates; others were not. A number of training sessions were held with them to assist them in upgrading their own personal skills and job skills so as to be of greater assistance in the school of their employment. (Author/JM)
