| Abstract | This paper reviews ten years of evaluation efforts by the sponsors of Follow Through programs, maintaining that sponsors' evaluations provide a different, equally valuable perspective to the one provided by the national evaluations of Follow Through. Sponsors were persons or groups that developed educational models for Follow Through and enacted them in one or more school districts. Methods of sponsor evaluation which are highlighted include comparisons of Follow Through children with control groups in non-Follow Through schools, with "advanced control groups" in Follow Through schools (these consisted of older children who had attended the target classrooms prior to implementation of Follow Through in those classrooms), and with the standardization samples of nationally normed tests. New evaluative instruments focusing on classroom environment, parents, and school personnel developed by various sponsors are also discussed. The findings of sponsor evaluations are cited to document the program's impact on children, parents, teachers and schools. These findings sometimes support but frequently contradict the conclusions reached in the national evaluations. It is suggested that a review of all available data, from both national and sponsor evaluations, is necessary before drawing conclusions about the worth of the Follow Through experience.
