The program, in the fourth year of a five-year span, includes 38 Minnesota schools and was made possible through a grant to the University. Project English proceeded this year with six different concerns: 1) completion of materials; 2) gathering reactions from teachers and students using the materials; 3) making other estimates of the usefulness of the materials; 4) conducting teacher training programs; 5) developing tests and 6) informing interested teochers and administrators.
