Milwaukee ESEA Title VII Bilingual/Bicultural Education Program, 1976, 1977.
Milwaukee Public Schools, WI. Dept. of Educational Research and Program Assessment.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin public school pupils in the 1976-1977 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title VII Bilingual/Bicultural Education Program varied in language dominance from monolingual English to various degrees of bilingualism to monolingual Spanish. The program goals suggest that the 594 elementary pupils will pursue their studies with about equal ease in their first and second languages by the end of grade six, and the 212 secondary students will increase their communication skills in English and Spanish. In the developmental model, bilingual teachers present the regular curricula in both Spanish and English in a K-12 program which emphasizes Hispanic culture. The evaluation covers academic achievement in reading and mathematics; Spanish and English language skills; student, teacher, and parent attitudes; and, at the secondary level, career orientation and typing skills. The major end-of-year findings are cited, and the results of six related studies are given. In addition, recommendations for the 1977-1978 Bilingual/Bicultural Program are offered. (Author/MV)
