Project CHAMP, 1986-1987. OEA Evaluation Report.
Cabrera, Eulalia; And Others
In its fourth year, Project CHAMP (Chinese Achievement and Mastery Program) provided instruction in English as a second language (ESL), native language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies to 728 limited-English-speaking Chinese immigrant students in grades nine through twelve at three schools. Content-area classes were taught in English and in Mandarin or Cantonese, depending upon the student's native language. An intensive literacy component at one site provided special instruction for students illiterate in their native language and lacking basic academic skills. School administrations were fully supportive of the program, but adequate numbers of licensed bilingual content-area teachers were not available. Curriculum materials development, staff training, and parent involvement activities were also included in the program plan. Analysis of student achievement data indicated that program objectives were met in ESL, native language arts course passing rates, content area course passing rates, intensive ESL literacy passing rates, and attendance. The intensive literacy component content area passing rates only partially met program objectives. Recommendations for improvement are given. (MSE)
