Project CHAMP, 1983-1984: OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
Project CHAMP provides instruction in English as a second language (ESL), native language arts, and content-area instruction in mathematics, science, and social studies to Chinese students of limited English proficiency (LEP) in three New York City high schools: Seward Park, Washington Irving, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1983-84, the first year of a three-year funding cycle, approximately 70 percent of the participating students were born in the People's Republic of China, and 72% spoke Cantonese. The remaining participants were from a variety of other Asian countries. Most participants were recent immigrants. Many were functionally illiterate in their native language and lacked basic study skills, and these students participated in the program's intensive literacy component at Seward Park. In 1983-84 Project CHAMP made notable progress in attaining its stated goals and substantially met its instructional objectives. Overall, students achieved the program objectives in ESL and native language arts. Students at all three sites met the objectives in mathematics and global history in the fall, and science and global history in the spring, and the attendance objective. Progress was also made in devloping proposed curriculum, involving parents in school and program-sponsored events, and offering on- and off-site opportunities for staff development. The report concludes with several recommendations. (KH)
