The National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children (NACEDC) is required to review and evaluate all federal compensatory education programs and report its findings and recommendations to the Congress and the President. This work is directed to members and staff of the Council and describes proposed activities for the 1977 calendar year. The report delineates the focus and the responsibilities of four Council committees: the legislation committee, and the committees on adolescence, mandated studies, and parent involvement. Also included, and of possible use to the general reader, are resumes of programs to be visited during the year by the Council staff. In these brief site descriptions, information is provided about the particular educational program in operation at the site, its target audience, per pupil expenditures, and the training of staff and administrators needed to implement the program in another location. Complete data is not presented for every program site. Targeted audiences for the programs vary, and include alienated high school students, children from kindergarten through grade 12, teachers, and the entire community. Copies of the activity sheet, fact sheets, checklist for visitation, and forms to be used by the Council members and staff in program evaluation visits are included. (GC)
