In its fourth year, the Bilingual Education Technical Assistance Center (BETAC) provided technical assistance and training to members of the instructional and administrative staffs of programs for students with limited English proficiency in New York City's 32 community school districts and for the Board of Education's Division of High Schools. In 1986-87, the BETAC successfully implemented its six proposed activities: providing technical assistance to schools cited for low student achievement; sponsoring parents' conferences for four language groups (Chinese, Greek, Haitian/Creole, and Spanish); conducting a series of seminars on project evaluation for supervisors of bilingual and special education projects; providing technical assistance to two-way bilingual programs; planning and implementing a Spanish spelling bee; and establishing a collaborative relationship with the Bilingual Services Unit of the Division of Special Education. Problems encountered include high turnover in directors and potential anticipated demand for field services that could overwhelm the existing staff resources. Recommendations for program improvement are given. (Author/MSE)
