John Jay High School Project TRIUNFE, 1985-1986. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
In 1985-86, its third and final year of operation, John Jay High School's (Brooklyn, New York) Project TRIUNFE served 314 students of Hispanic, Asian, Haitian and Indian backgrounds. Its goals were to improve students' competence in speaking, reading, and writing English; to enhance students' native language ability and ethnic pride; and to teach computer literacy. Other goals were to raise students' occupational aspirations and level of achievement in vocational classes and to help them obtain part-time jobs in the neighborhood. Alternative education was also offered for the marginal/juvenile delinquent student. The project was a transitional program which aimed to mainstream students in less than two years. Analysis of student achievement data indicates the following: (1) students met the proposed objectives for English language progress; (2) students surpassed the objectives in mathematics, science, and social studies both semesters; (3) Spanish-speaking students made significant gains; (4) students surpassed the native language arts objective; and (5) attendance rate of program students was significantly higher than that of mainstream students. It is recommended that bilingual materials be shared with other programs around the city. (PS)
