Abstract: This report describes a 1972-73 field test regarding the development of procedures and materials for training coordinators to implement the Developing Mathematical Processes (DMP) program. DMP is a research-based, elementary school mathematics program under development at the Wisconsin Research and Development Center for Cognitive Learning. To conduct this field test, school district coordinators who would use the developmental edition of DMP Levels 1-4 (K-2) were identified, trained, and followed throughout the year. Information was also gathered from teachers on the usability of DMP materials and is included in this report. A brief summary of the 1973 and 1974 training programs for coordinators and the process of revising the Coordinators Manual are included. Changes in procedures and materials are suggested throughout the report. (Author/JBW)
