Bilingual Pupil Services, 1984-1985. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
The Bilingual Pupil Services (BPS) Program has been operating for 11 years in 24 New York City schools. During the 1984-85 school year BPS provided bilingual instruction to 1,616 Hispanic students and (for the second year) to Chinese students of limited English proficiency (LEP) in grades one through six. BPS has two functions: providing services to LEP students through instruction in English as a second language (ESL), bilingual reading, and mathematics; and providing inservice training for paraprofessionals working with these students. This report evaluates the project at four sites serving Chinese LEP students. It provides the following information: (1) a description of the project for 1984-85; (2) a follow-up of the project's progress regarding 1983-84 recommendations; (3) an analysis of student achievement data for the Hispanic and Chinese components; and (4) recommendations. In all areas of the curriculum and at most grade levels, students demonstrated statistically significant gains in tests of reading in English, Spanish, and Chinese and in mathematics. Students exhibited excellent attendance rates running from a low of 86 percent to a high of 94 percent. (PS)
