Great Opportunities for Optional Resources to Improve the Talents of Gifted Bilingual High School Students: Project GO-FOR-IT 1988-89. OREA Report.
Berney, Tomi D.; Hriskos, Constantine
Project GO-FOR-IT (Great Opportunities for Optional Resources to Improve the Talents of Gifted Bilingual High School Students) provided supplemental instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), content area subjects, and Native Language Arts (NLA) to 259 gifted, limited English proficient (LEP) students at three Brooklyn (New York) high schools. At each school, bilingual educational enrichment centers offered guidance counseling, career and college advisement, parental contact, and tutoring. The project also organized education field trips and other extracurricular activities, and participated in the publication of several student magazines. Participating students were native speakers of Haitian, Creole, Vietnamese, Chinese, Spanish or Italian who had recently immigrated to the United States. They were chosen for participation in this project based on school records, personal interviews, and letters of recommendation from teachers and guidance counselors. Project GO-FOR-IT met its ESL, attendance, and parental involvement objectives, but failed to meet the objectives set for achievement in content area subjects. No data was submitted to allow evaluation of the projects success at meeting goals for curriculum/staff development. (JL)
