Chinese Bilingual Career Awareness Program, 1986-1987. OEA Evaluation Report.
Scorza, Margaret H.; And Others
In its first year under Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act funding, the Chinese Bilingual Career Awareness Program served 265 Chinese-speaking students with limited English proficiency in two New York City junior high schools. The project's main goals were to improve student skills in English, increase content-area achievement including computer literacy, encourage academic persistence by creating awareness of career opportunities available to well-educated students, and to improve attendance. Students were enrolled in English as a second language (ESL), bilingual or mainstream classes in mathematics, science, and social studies, and career awareness classes. Non-instructional program components included counseling and tutoring services, services for parents, materials development, and staff development. Project objectives were met in English language development, mathematics, science, social studies, staff training, parental involvement, career development, and attendance. Recommendations for program improvement are given. Appendices include career evaluation and parent involvement worksheets. (Author/MSE)
