PART 2 Validated Projects
The projects listed here have been judged effective through state or nationall validation efforts and, in addition, appear to have a relationship to improvement in this goal area . They have proven successful in doing what they said they would do for their target population, whether students, teachers, administrators, aides or parents, and they have also produced credible evidence of their cost effectiveness and exportability . A - school district can approach these projects with the confidence that the data reported by each project have been reviewed and verified by the Pennsylvania Diffusion Panel (PDP) and/or the Joint Dissemination Review Panel (JDRP) of the USDE and NIE . The listing is subject to change, especially in regard to availability of individual projects for visitation, consultation or eventual training for adoption . They are part of a state and/or a national diffusion network and may be limited in the number of districts they can assist . The listing consists only of those projects which have components which may impact on the goal . Therefore, this is not a complete list of validated programs ; for example, special education, migrant, bilingual and preschool projects are not cited, and all grade levels may not be covered .
