Emergency Immigration Education Act Programs. Summer ESL Welcome Program for Students of Limited English Proficiency, Summer Bilingual Program, Projects Omega, Wise, and Bell. Summer 1994. OER Report.
Roman, Elliott M.
The Emergency Immigration Education Act supported three distinct programs in New York City in the summer of 1994: (1) the Summer English as a Second Language (ESL) Welcome Program for Students of Limited English Proficiency; (2) the Summer Bilingual Program; and (3) Projects Omega, Wise, and Bell. The projects served 3,443 students in all. The Summer ESL Welcome program served 526 entering ninth graders, acquainting them with their rights and responsibilities in high school. The Summer Bilingual Program served 2,917 high school students. Projects Omega, Wise, and Bell focused on staff and curriculum development. In general, the programs met their objectives. Some recommendations for program continuation call for more materials for the summer bilingual program, additional field trip opportunities, and better sharing among participants in the three staff development efforts. One table lists program sites. (Author/SLD)
