ERIC serves the educational community by disseminating research results and other resource information that can be used in developing more effective educational programs. The ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management, one of several such units in the system, was established at the University of Oregon in 1966. The Clearinghouse and its companion units process research reports and journal articles for announcement in ERIC's index and abstract bulletins. Research reports are announced in Resources in Education (R/E), available in many libraries and by subscription from the United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Most of the documents listed in RIE can be purchased through the ERIC Document Reproduction Service, operated by Cincinnati Bell Information Systems. JournLi articles are announced in Current Index to Journals in Education. CIJE is also available in many libraries and can be ordered from Oryx Press, 2214 North Central at Encanto, Phoenix, Arizona 85004. Semiannual cumula- tions can be ordered separately. In addition to processing documents and journal articles, the Clearinghouse prepares bibliographies, literature reviews, monographs, and other interpretive research studies on topics in its educational area.

Pie le, Professor and Director Keith A. Acheson, Associate Director Stuart C. Smith, Director of Publications PREFACE The ERIC Digest series is ideally suited to the reader who wants a quick overview of information on a particular topic. Each Digest condenses the most pertinent facts, ideas, and issues on the topic into two pages containing about 1,500 words, a memorable feat in this age of information overload. For those who want to explore the topic further, a list of major pertinent resources ends each Digest. Digests are also written in a clear language that can be easily understood by a broad audience, which includes school board members, school administrators, teachers, and other members of the community. A question-and-answer format guides the reader through the most prominent issues and subtopics. This compendium serves up a full meal of forty Digests that were published by the Clearinghouse over a four-year period from 1988 to 1991. No attempt was made to revise the older Digests, though in the process of reformatting them for this compendium a few editorial changes were made for the sake of consistency. For ease of reference, the Digests are listed alphabetically by title. To find out when each Digest was written, look for the number and dare at the end of the list of resources. For example, "AIDS/HIV Education, " the first Digest in this compendium, is number 38 and was written in 1989. Philip K.
