This paper discusses the systematic approach to the integration of microcomputers into all phases of instruction that was implemented in the Los Angeles Unified School District in 1984 under the Computer Education Foundation Program (CEFP). It begins with a brief description of the school district to provide a context for the reader. The current literature is then reviewed, including a study of the impact of state funding for the adoption of technology under California Assembly Bill 803 in Los Angeles County. An outline of the CEFP plan includes brief descriptions of the computer education program at the elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels; the time table for phasing in the program in district schools; and both instructional and staff development activities. Discussions of constraints which have surfaced during the four years of implementation focus on size and logistics, articulation, consistency, and decision-making. Recommendations and conclusions address issues related to coordination, decision-making, training, and articulation. (11 references) (EW)
