Project Follow Through is the largest, (200,000 students), longest-running (8 years), most expensive (1.2 Billion $$$), comparative (14 models) educational research study ever done.
The purpose was to remediate the academic and social skills of underprivileged students across America during the 1970s. !4 different approaches were sponsored for periods of 3 years to determine which, if any, could provide U.S. elementary schools with effective teaching methods. 12 of 14 models failed spectacularly, Two models, Direct Instruction and Behavior Analysis, accounted for all of the gains in the research.
The project was never made public and was buried by its detractors despite its consistent beneficial success for millions of impoverished students.
