This manual was developed for use by the personnel of the New Jersey state department of education to provide technical assistance to local, state, and federal bilingual education and English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) projects in the state. It contains seven training modules, each consisting of a reproducible workshop packet with procedures for the trainer, overhead transparencies, and handouts. The procedures section specifies the materials corresponding to the instructions given. Module topics include: (1) an introduction to bilingual education; (2) identifying limited-English-proficient (LEP) students; (3) assessing the needs of the LEP students; (4) curriculum issues; (5) cross-cultural interaction in the classroom; (6) organizing and implementing programs; and developing successful programs. While the intended audience is state department of education staff, other potential audiences include school district non-instructional staff (administrators and support services), monolingual teachers with LEP students in their classes, staff from education, resource, and training centers, and parents.
