The goals of Project Assist in the Ocean View School District (California) are to socialize sixth through eighth grade recent immigrant and other limited English proficient students into the school mainstream and to aid them in passing eigth grade competency tests in basic skills of English reading, written composition, and mathematics. The program consists of two primary components, instruction and counseling, which are supported by two ancillary components, training and evaluation. The instructional component augments the basic bilingual instructional program of English as a Second Language instruction and Spanish literacy (primary language instruction) with transitional English reading and primary language instruction in the content areas and electives. The counseling component, with its bilingual crosscultural counselor, provides a means for intervention on behalf of the student with school instructional staff, administration, and parents. The training component, (for certified and classified staff) includes workshop and training models, and its main purpose is to promote acceptance of Project Assist among instructional staff. Finally, the evaluation component verifies project efforts, validates project results, and provides a research data base on the client population.
