Abstract
This thesis covers the two year period in which the author served as Educational Director for a two county Headstart program in Mississippi. It describes the development of an original training program for non-professional teachers. The type of daily activities program advocated and evolved is implicit in all the training procedures.
The first chapter briefly outlines the structure of the agency as background information. A description of the children and teachers follows. The rest of the paper is concerned with the problems encountered in setting up a daily program based on principles of child development and how they were solved through a variety of training procedures. The training program is outlined in detail and evaluated in the last chapter. A statement of principles is included to summarize theories and techniques described throughout the paper.
The appendix includes all the original mimeo graphed materials developed by me for the Headstart Teachers.
