It describes (1) responsibilities of the program materials production team; (2) responsibilities of the field team which operates the program at the local level; (3) qualifications and position of field director; (4) equipment needed to set up a HOPE program; (5) general principles for curriculum planning, and (6) offers suggestions for the field director in recruiting and selecting staff and in conducting staff orientation and pretraining. The communication-quality control system which provides the materials production team with a basis for making program decisions is also described. Appendices include mobile classroom specifications and floor plans, and a list of the HOPE development staff. Use of the other HOPE publications is emphasized. (SET)
