The CAPISCO Bilingual Program at New Utrecht High School in New York is designed to offer bilingual instructional and supportive services to predominantly 9th and 10th grade Italian students. The target population consists of approximately 150 Italian language dominant students receiving intensive instruction in English as a second language instruction in their native language in the three content areas of Social Studies, Science and Mathematics. They also receive instruction in native Italian language in order to improve their linguistic skills and to obtain an awareness of their background together with the artistic, scientific, and social contributions made by their people through the ages. These students are integrated with English dominant students in Music, Art, Health Education, Typing, and Industrial Arts. Objectives of the program are that the students gain in reading, arithmetic, and native language reading achievement. Among the findings are the following: (1) each grade, as well as all grades combined, demonstrated gains in reading achievement beyond normal expectancy on the Stanford Achievement Test, (2) the total group demonstrated significant gains in language reading achievement, (3) each grade, as well as all grades combined, showed significant gains in arithmetic achievement beyond normal expectancy on the Metropolitan Arithmetic Achievement Test, (4) in general the participation of students and teacher-student relationship was good, (5) pupil attendance rates increased, and attitudes toward school and toward self improved.
