Chapter 1 describes the methods and procedures of program review, the application of appropriate criteria for judging the schools' instructional program, and the development of proposals for improving the instructional program. Chapter 2 describes a set of criteria for curricular quality and lists precautions for reviewers about applying these criteria to the school program. Chapter 3 describes how the interaction between the review team and the school results in an assistance plan for improving the instructional program. Two appendices comprise nearly two-thirds of the document. Appendix A, "The Quality Criteria for Judging the Effect of the Program on the Elementary School Student," contains criteria for excellence in 12 areas: language arts, mathematics, science, history-social science, visual and performing arts, physical education, schoolwide effectiveness, special needs, learning environment, staff development, leadership, and program planning.
