The 163 organizations can be located by any one of three ways: (1) by title in the alphabetical listing; (2) by their subject areas and publication topics through use of the subject index; and (3) by their service areas through use of the geographic index.

Smith Meta S. Bruner 1994 ERIC ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management College of Education University of Oregon Eugene 3 MISSION OF ERIC AND THE CLEARINGHOUSE The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a national information system operated by the U.S. Department of Education. ERIC serves the educational community by disseminating research results and other resource information that can be used in developing more effective educa- tional 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 abstact bulletins. Research reports are announced in Resources in Education (RIE), available in many libraries and by subscription from the United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402-9371. Most of the documents listed in RIE can be purchased through the ERIC Document Reproduc- tion Service, operated by Cincinnati Bell Information Systems. Call EDRS at (800) 443-ERIC. Journal articles are announced in Current Index to Journals in Education. CIJE is also available in many libraries and can be ordered from Oryx Press, 4041 North Central Avenue at Indian School, Suite 700, Phoenix, Arizona 85012. Semiannual cumulations can be ordered separately. Besides processing documents and journal articles, the Clearinghouse prepares bibliographies, literature reviews, monographs, and other interpretive research studies on topics in its educational area. This publication was prepared in part with funding from the Office of Educational Research and Improvement, U.S. Department of Education, under contract no. OERI RR93002006. The opinions expressed in this report do not necessarily reflect the positions or policies of the Department of Education. The University of Oregon is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution committed to cultural diversity. No federal fiinds were used in the printing of this publication. Library of Congress Catalog Number: 94-72202 US ISSN: 0070-6035 Design: LeeAnn August 4 Contents Preface v Introduction 1 Alphabetic Listing 2 Organizational Entries 4 Subject Index 49 Geographic Index 70 5 iii Preface As in past editions, educational management includes all aspects of the leadership, administration, and structure of public and private educational organizationsat the elementary and secondary levels and the provision of facilities for their operation. The Directory does not cover administradon of higher education, career education, and health education. The Directory is designed to guide users to sources of information on management of elementary and secondary schools. For this reason it indicates each organization's policy for supplying information in response to requests and, wherever applicable, publications that can be obtained by writing to it. Also in keeping with this purpose, the Directory includes both organizations engaged in research and development and those providing service to the educational management profession or a segment of it. Service is defined generally to include disseminating information, providing consultation, promoting exchange of ideas, conducting workshops, and so forth. Organizations that meet these criteria and are listed in the following pages include federally funded research centers and laboratories, professional associations, policy research and analysis centers, school study councils, university research and service bureaus, and a variety of independent organizations. Agencies specializing in information retrieval are excluded, as are organizations operating for profit. Organizations may focus only indirectly or secondarily on educational management and still qualify for the Directory. In such cases, only the subject areas and publications pertaining directly to educational management are listed. 6 Introduction Organizations can be easily located in the Directory in any one of three ways: (1) by their titles in the alphabetic listing, (2) by their subject areas and publication topics through use of the subject index, and (3) by their service areas through use of the geographic index. Indexes refer to the organization's entry numbers, not to page numbers. Following is a sample entry and an explanation of its use. Institute for Independent 71.

With few exceptions, only subjects that relate to educational management (see Preface) have been listed in the organizations' subject areas. Listed terms are therefore not necessarily the only subjects in which the organizations specialize. If publication topics are listed, copies of the publications are usually available to anyone. Many publications must be purchased. Another category of informationperiodicalscites titles of periodicals that cover subjects related to educational management and their frequency of issue. Each organization has indicated the services it provides; if services are listed, they are understood as available to anyone. Services restricted to members or other categories of users are not listed. Many organizations provide services only within a specified geographical area. This geographical service area is also indicated. 1 Alphabetic Listing 38. Central Minnesota Educational Cooperative 1. American Association of School Administrators Service Unit 2.
