Project TRAIN, 1984-1985. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
Project TRAIN, in its first year of operation, proposed to offer 210 parents of New York City high school students of limited English proficiency (LEP) an opportunity to improve their own English language skills. The targeted language groups included Spanish, Haitian Creole, Khmer, and Korean. This was to have been achieved through regularly scheduled classes in English as a second language (ESL), General Equivalency Diploma (GED) preparation, computer-assisted instruction in ESL, and workshops on issues related to bilingual education. However, the project could neither be staffed nor implemented as proposed. Only 11 of the 14 proposed staff positions were filled. The program was to have been offered at four high schools and three community centers. To encourage parental attendance, the project also was to have provided childcare services. The project began operating at the Vanderveer Community Catholic Center in Brooklyn in September 1984; two other sites, Walton High School in the Bronx and the Haitian Neighborhood Service Center in Manhattan, began operations in January 1985. Three hundred thirty-one parents were served: 315 Haitians and 16 Hispanics. ESL classes were offered at all sites; GED classes were offered at Walton and the Haitian Center. No achievement data were available. (KH)
