Abstract	The outreach activities component to REPSAC, an extremely successful early childhood bilingual intervention program in Clovis, New Mexico, enabled the project to provide replication services to various local education agencies requesting such services. During 1976-77, services included the training of selected teachers and aides to acquire competencies in working with young, high risk, and handicapped children. Conducted on-site at the replication centers (9 school districts and 9 Head Start Centers located in isolated areas in New Mexico) and at the parent center, training was taken to these centers by a specially designed and equipped motor coach. Evaluation of the training was conducted by an external evaluation team via objective evaluation of the workshops; classroom visits; site-visits with administrators, teachers, and aides; self-evaluation questionnaires from the trainees and trainers; and a review of various records/logs maintained by the outreach training team. A follow-up study of former REPSAC students in grades 1-5 was conducted. Findings included: the training program for the teachers and aides was extremely effective; services provided to the schools in the isolated areas were extremely needed; and the follow-up study indicated a change to an upward trend for Spanish language development, a continued slightly upward trend for English language development, and a mild downward trend for learning aptitude.
