The papers presented in this monograph describe some of the experiences of nine Teacher Corps projects in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs to foster community involvement in the schools. Community representation is reflected in groups of individuals which may be called the Community Council, Advisory Committee, or Steering Committee, and these groups form the nucleus for the governance structure of Teacher Corps projects. The councils may be made up of people from business and industry, community agencies, institutions, and parents of school children. These individuals, in collaboration with school officials, Teacher Corps personnel, and persons representing the institution of higher education, make decisions about how the program can best meet the needs of pupils in that particular school-community and what community resources are available to address the varying needs of school-community in solving critical problems.
