Assistance offered by the State Department of Education to school districts in Oregon to help them identify aspects of student achievement under Chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act (Hawkins Stafford Amendments of 1988) is discussed. Two hundred ninety-five of the 297 Oregon public school districts have Chapter 1 programs, serving a total of approximately 45,000 students. High and low performing districts are identified through standardized test scores and annual evaluation data, a process enhanced by help from the Technical Assistance Center of the Northwest Regional Laboratory. A system that considers a number of factors identifies programs needing staff attention. Summer sessions provide training for Chapter 1 coordinators. The state defines achievement goals for the districts and receives achievement reports at group and individual levels. A new focus on student achievement will be provided with the Accelerated Learning Programs for Successful Students, a program that Oregon will implement to increase the rate of learning for Chapter 1 students. Three exhibits provide information about program functions and staff. (SLD)
