This report represents a synthesis of data related to the impact of the Parent Education Follow Through (PEFT) Program in the Yakima (Washington) School District. It was compiled from reviews of written documents and interviews with both model sponsor staff and parents, teachers, community leaders and others within the Yakima School District. The program, in which paraprofessionals and parent educators worked with children in kindergarten and first grade classrooms and with their mothers in the homes, is briefly described. The political, economic and ethnic characteristics of the community and school staff are noted. The community's response to the program is said to be generally positive. It is concluded that the PEFT program is a dynamic force for institutional and social change within the Yakima community. Factors contributing to the apparent success of the program are discussed, along with some criticisms leveled at the program. (Author/BH)
