Compendium of Transition Model Programs. 1993

This directory contains project profiles and summaries of current and newly expired projects funded under the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Secondary Education and Transition Initiative. Most of the information is based on a 1993 survey of project directors and project competition data. The compendium is divided into three sections: (1) the overview of project profiles, which contains a summary description of both current and expired competitions; (2) the summary of competition profiles which describes each competition, including its purpose, authority under which funded, eligible recipients, and number of grants awarded; and (3) the project profiles themselves, which are grouped by geographic region as defined by the six federal regional resource centers. Project profile information typically includes the following: project title, competition number, names of project director and other key personnel, address, telephone number, project purpose, expected outcomes, approach used to reach expected outcomes, current project consumers, project impact, project inservice and/or training activities, and project products. The appendices include copies of the "Project Characteristics Questionnaire" and the "Expired Project Characteristics Questionnaire." The indexes provide a guide to projects' key personnel, location, disabilities served, and project titles. (DB)
