Abstract: This publication is a guide with the necessary materials for leading a workshop session on defining and developing effective outcomes statements for use in Chapter 1 programs. Following a list of the transparencies and handouts used in the workshop as well as an outline of the 3-hour session, a section on presenter's background information discusses the renewed emphasis on well-written outcomes statements. This section notes that such statements provide an opportunity for states and local school systems to design evaluations based on issues of particular importance to their schools and programs. This section also lists suggested readings and optional resource materials. The actual guide to the workshop covers the following areas: (1) overview (definition of desired outcomes, discussion, and activity); (2) rationale (discussion of the requirements for desired outcomes); (3) process (discussion of the elements of a desired outcome statement and activities designing and evaluating statements); and (4) debriefing (discussion and evaluation). Throughout the guide graphics indicate places to use the 12 specially designed transparencies and the 8 handouts. (JB)
