Theodore Roosevelt High School Project TEACH, 1985-1986. OEA Evaluation Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn. Office of Educational Assessment.
Project TEACH (Technological Enrichment and Achievement for Cambodians and Hispanics) aims to facilitate the students' linguistic and cultural adjustment to American society while preparing them to enter the job market. Carried out at Theodore Roosevelt High School (Bronx, New York) Project TEACH provides students new to America with computer and business training in a bilingual setting. Courses offered include English as a second language, Spanish, bilingual content areas, computer technology, and business. This report evaluates the project as of June 1986, after its second year. Included are a description of the project, student profiles, and conclusions and recommendations. Analysis of the program indicates the following: (1) program students surpassed the proposed English language objective; (2) gains for proposed Hispanic native language objectives were statistically significant; (3) students enrolled in mathematics and computer courses surpassed the program objective of a 70 percent passing rate both semesters; and (4) the attendance rate of program students was significantly higher than that of mainstream students. The report recommends continued efforts to find a Khmer-speaking teacher for the program, since lack of one hampered work with Cambodian students. Also recommended were increasing efforts to make parental involvement a priority. (PS)
