Comment on procedures in Washington State for selection of students for Chapter 1 programs

For two years, Chapter 1 coordinators in the state of Washington periodically attended workshops and received other technical assistance concerning the use of multiple measures for selecting students into the Chapter 1 program. A survey was sent to all coordinators in the state to assess current selection practices after the two-year effort to give technical assistance. Analysis showed that most districts now incorporate multiple measures, presumably facilitated by technical assistance.
