Theodore Roosevelt High School: Project TEACH, 1984-1985. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
Project TEACH completed the first year of a three-year program serving 190 newly arrived limited English proficient (LEP) students from the Caribbean, Central America and Cambodia. Virtually all students belonged to low-income families and many had received little formal education in their native countries. The primary goal was to facilitate students' linguistic and cultural adjustment to U.S. society through counseling and English as a second language (ESL) instruction, while providing computer literacy and business training. A long-term goal is to use computers to assist instruction in all content areas. Two bilingual counselors and a bilingual family assistant helped students with academic, career-oriented, and personal problems. Staff development was accomplished through outside courses, in-service workshops and presentations and involvement in developing computer assisted curricula. Parent involvement was effected via night classes in ESL and high school equivalency preparation, parent-teacher conferences, Parent Advisory Council meetings and project-sponsored theatre trips. Student data indicate that: (1) students met English language development objectives; (2) Spanish-speaking students met native language development objectives; (3) students surpassed mathematics and computing objectives both semesters; (4) students met attendance objectives; and (5) mainstreaming objectives in the business/computer program were met. A summary of the report is included. (MCK)
