searchable* database of 2,184 such syntheses on the
Department's website at:
http://www.ed.gov/databases/ERIC_Digests/index/
Many of these new ERIC Digests focus on mathematics & science.
All 84 new titles are below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==> CORRECTIONS: In yesterday's ED Initiatives, we included
an incorrect web address for the GEAR UP program. The
correct URL is http://www.ed.gov/gearup Also, in a
message earlier this week, "Notices Inviting Applications
(May 30, 2000)," the estimated number of awards under the
Migrant Education Even Start Program (CFDA# 84.214A)
should have read "16 to 18." We apologize for any
confusion or inconvenience these errors may have caused.
