The instructional part of Trinidad's Follow Through program is based on the High Scope model developed by the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization headed by Dr. David Weikart. Now in its second year, the program emphasizes the development of individualized conceptual competence. Certain kindergarten through grade three classes in two of the elementary schools participate in the program. One teacher and two paraprofessional aides direct each classroom. Individualized instruction or small heterogeneous groups characterize the learning situation. The curriculum integrates academic areas and selected commercial materials with Jean Piaget's five cognitive areas. Since Follow Through aspires to improve the totality of the learning experience, the Trinidad program also emphasizes parent involvement, paraprofessional career development, nutrition, and health. The researchers considered the program exemplary for several reasons. Most important, it has improved the educational experience for the children. Furthermore, the program provides teachers and aides with the training and support necessary for them to adapt to the project and to pursue its objectives. (Author/JM)
