The purpose of this guide is to provide administrators and teachers who work in education programs for migrants with a tool which may be useful in guiding the development and appraisal of such programs. Objectives for migrant education programs and the criteria for program appraisal included in the guide have been developed through the efforts of teachers and migrant program directors who participated in the 1971 Indiana Workshop for Teachers of Migrant Children held at the Geneva Conference Center, Rochester, Indiana. The objectives and criteria for appraisal are not to be considered all inclusive but are suggestive as to areas of need in migrant education programs. Among the areas considered by the suggested approach to migrant education programs are health services, food services, parental and community involvement, and instruction. (LS)
