Abstract	The purpose of the Follow Through Classroom Observation Evaluation was to assess the implementation of seven Follow Through sponsor models included in the study and to examine the relationships between classroom instructional processes and child outcomes. The seven programs selected for study include two behavioristic models, an open school model based upon English Infant School Theory, and three other models based on particular combinations of theory and practice drawn from Piaget, Dewey, and the English Infant Schools. To study sponsor implementation, two questions were asked: (1) are the individual models consistently implemented in accordance with the sponsor prestated philosophies and objectives? and (2) do meaningful differences as planned exist among the individual sponsor models; that is, have the planned variations actually been achieved? Another question asked is central to the primary objectives of the follow through evaluation: How are children affected by the different approaches within these planned educational programs? Four first- and third-grade classrooms were observed in 36 towns and cities. The projects included in the sample represented all geographic regions, urban and rural areas, and several racial and ethnic groups. The SRI Classroom Observation Instrument was employed to gather data about classroom environment and processes. It consists of five sections: (1) Classroom Summary Information; (2) Physical Environment Information; (3) Classroom Checklist; (4) Preamble, and (5) Five Minute Observation. The study concludes that what occurs within a classroom does contribute to achievement in basic skills, good attendance, and desired child behaviors. (DMT)
