Abstract
Chapter 1 is now in its 26th year of providing supplementary educational services to low-achieving children who live in low-income neighborhoods. The program has shown positive but not significant gains in the achievement of educationally disadvantaged children. In 1988, Congress reauthorized Chapter 1 with the mandate to the nation’s schools to close the gap between low- and high-achieving students, stressing accountability for performance, program improvement, and flexibility to produce results. Chapter 1 faces reauthorization again in 1993. The author provides perspectives on a number of issues that should be considered in the coming dialogue on the future of Chapter 1.
