Juniper Gardens Parent Cooperative Preschool. Final Report.
Schiefelbusch, R. L.
Parent Cooperative Preschool, designed to provide experiences tailored to the children enrolled, teaches specific skills the children will need when they begin informal schooling, and develops parent-child relationships which will sustain motivation once the child enters public school. The preschool operates on the premise that these goals can be achieved and that important changes in parent-child interactions can be developed if both parent and child have the opportunity to work in a specially designed environment. The Coop provides a setting which enables parents to acquire skills in preschool teaching, to focus their interests on the day-by-day education of their children, and to assume responsibility for the operation of the program. Included in this report are brief descriptions of the program, program evaluation, the demonstration plan and staff organization. More than half of the report consists of appendices which include the articles: "Program Description-Behavior Analysis Classroom;""A Token Manual for Behavior Analysis Classrooms;" and "Adult Verbal Control of Children's Non-Verbal Behavior".
