This publication reports on progress made regarding seven tasks of the Chapter 1 Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for Region A (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, and Vermont). Chapter 1 is a federal program sponsoring remedial education projects nationwide. The TAC offers services to Chapter 1 clients (schools and school districts), assisting in the delivery of technical services, and acting as contacts and specialists for coordinating information on special topics. The report is organized in seven sections, one for each task of the center. Each section describes the task and offers data on the year's activity in the form of tables or figures. Following an introduction which describes the organization of the TAC, tasks and sections are as follows: (1) negotiate services through letters of agreement; (2) provide direct technical assistance and act as a technical consultant to state and local education agencies; (3) perform additional tasks related to Chapter 1 evaluation and program improvement; (4) maintain staff capabilities and expertise; (5) conduct outreach and awareness activities; (6) attend TAC directors' meetings; and (7) frequently coordinate with regional TACs. Included are six tables and seven graphs. (JB)
