 A 1974 study examining 20 Teacher Corps projects that began in 1971 found that half involved elementary school children, half secondary school children.While many projects involved inner-city schools, others involved children in rural areas like the Flint Hills of Kansas or Indian reservations.Before its demise, the Corps enlisted local colleges, public schools and poverty organizations to provide training to future teachers to train them in the cultural and social traits of low income, socially disadvantaged persons to enable them to more effectively teach in the inner city elementary schools.
