William H. Taft High School Project HOLA 1984-1985. O.E.A. Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
In 1984-85, Project HOLA was in its second year of funding at William H. Taft High School in the Bronx, New York. HOLA serves Spanish-speaking students of limited English proficiency (LEP). Project goals include speedy acquisition of English skills, orientation to life in America, maintenance and improvement of Spanish skills and cultural knowledge, and eventual mainstreaming. Supported by Title VII, tax-levy, and Chapter I funds, Project HOLA includes student support services, staff development, and parent participation activities in addition to its instructional component. An evaluation of 1984-85 focused on progress made since the previous year's report, with special attention paid to policies and programs initiated. The evaluation indicated that Project HOLA is well on its way to meeting both short- and long-term objectives. Instructional and non-instructional services are provided as proposed and are highly valued by the school administration. Analysis of student achievement data showed that the program was highly successful in promoting achievement in English, native language, content areas, and elective courses. (KH)
