Project CARES (Career Awareness Resources for Exceptional Students) of the New York City Public Schools served 67 Spanish-speaking students with intensive social and emotional needs and limited English proficiency. The students were ages 10 to 21. The project provided students with instruction in English as a Second Language, Native Language Arts, and bilingual instruction in the content areas. The project sponsored a joint venture in which students, parents, supervisors, community residents, and local business entrepreneurs introduced students to the job market. Evaluation of the project found that it raised the self-esteem and confidence of the students. It equipped staff to work together to achieve common goals and equipped students with instruction in how to do peer tutoring. The need for additional training for project staff is noted. This evaluation report covers staffing, implementation and outcomes by individual objectives, and a case history. An appendix describes data collection and analysis procedures. (JDD)
