Abstract	Testimony on strategies designed to enhance educational opportunities for disadvantaged students is recorded in this report of a congressional hearing. Robert Slavin of the Early and Elementary School Program, Center for Research on Effective Schooling for Disadvantaged Students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore (Maryland) testified about the development and achievements of the Success for All Program. Leetta Allen-Haynes of the College of Education at the University of New Orleans (Louisiana) testified about the Louisiana Accelerated Schools, a program that works for disadvantaged students by, in part, trying to change the culture of schools themselves. The final witness was Sidney Smith, Headmaster of the Boston (Massachusetts) English High School, who testified about the program at his school and in particular the key role of rigorous student assessments for increasing academic achievement among disadvantaged students. Discussion followed the formal testimony and touched on the following issues: fostering family involvement in education, comprehensive social service delivery at school-sites, staff development and teacher education, financial resources, assessment driven practices, perceptions of urban students, educational technology, and school desegregation. The witnesses' prepared statements are included. (JB)
