1967 The Eighty-Second Annual Meeting

Extract

By September 1967 the opening phase of federal support for English had been largely completed. Fourteen of the Curriculum Study Centers and five of the Demonstration Centers funded under the Cooperative Research Program had submitted their final reports to the Office of Education. Curriculum materials from the Centers at Carnegie, Georgia, Indiana, Hunter (Gateway English), Nebraska, Oregon, and Wisconsin are available for classroom use this fall. The Centers at Gallaudet College, Georgia, Illinois (ISCPET), Indiana, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, however, are continuing their work beyond September 1967. Moreover, nearly ten percent of the Secondary School English teachers in the United States have attended the NDEA Institutes in English authorized by the three-year extension of the NDEA (of 1958) in October 1964.
