Locating Louisiana's Children of the Road: Migrant Recruiter's Handbook.
Smith, Billie Jean; Fortier, Beverly
Since each year families are located in different sites across the state, working in different crops, arriving and departing, and sometimes arriving again at different times, recruitment must be an on-going operation. A recruiter should have compensating influence for all of the negative influences surrounding educational opportunities. A recruiter, therefore, is not only a recruiter, but a field investigator, an educational consultant, and a social worker. As representatives of Louisiana's educational system, they deal with problems and situations directly, meeting with the migrant parents and children in their home territory to discuss educational alternatives for the children. Intended to assist recruiters throughout the state as they join together to increase enrollment and enlarge the migrant programs, this handbook presents information pertaining to (1) the recruiter's responsibility--duties, information collection, forms used in recruiting, reports, and follow-up; and (2) recruiting procedures--recruitment, psychology of recruitment, and techniques of recruitment. Copies of the following forms are included: the survey/eligibility/enrollment form, enrollment procedure form, daily log, special comment sheet, request for special services, and request for supportive services. Also included are a job description for the Recruiter-Coordinator; a map of the migrant recruiting areas; and the legal definition of interstate, intrastate, and formerly migratory migrants. (NQ)
