This State Education Agency (SEA) Self Analysis Instrument for ESEA Title I is one of the products developed and validated by the SEA (State Educational Agencies) Management of Compensatory Education, a multistate project funded through ESEA Title V-505. An additional product of the project was a SEA Process Model said to support the self-evaluation instrument by identifying the "key" processes or activities that must be accomplished, if improvement is desired as the result of self-analysis. Representatives from each State Educational Agency, their selected Local Education Agencies, the U. S. Office of Education, and the Communication Technology Corporation of Marlton, New Jersey formulated this instrument for self-analyzing the effectiveness of the administration of an ESEA Title I program in a State Education Agency. The instrument contains eight sections representing aspects of program administration: Organization, Program Design, Management, Evaluation, Dissemination, SEA/LEA Training, Technical Assistance, and Legislation. Each section contains a grouping of criterion statements that identify what was believed to be ideal administrative practices for the four recognized phases of Title I program administration: Pre-Application, Application Preparation, Application Review and Approval, and Program Operation. Sections on Dissemination, Training and Assistance contain criterion statements dealing specifically with whether bilingual/bicultural needs of populations served are being met in these areas.
