George W. Wingate High School Multilingual Survival Skills Program, 1986-1987. OEA Evaluation Report.
Lopatin, Arthur D.; And Others
In 1986-87, the Multilingual Survival Skills Program provided, with the support of Title VII funding, instructional and support services to 360 limited-English-speaking Haitian and Hispanic students at a Brooklyn high school. The program's major goals were to develop English and native language proficiency through simultaneous, intensive study of both languages to develop content-area mastery in bilingual classes until mainstreaming was possible, and to increase awareness of students' cultural heritages and of American culture, democratic values, and institutions. A project director, Haitian Creole/French resource specialist, Spanish resource specialist, Spanish educational assistant, and Haitian Creole educational assistant provided support and instructional services to bilingual content-area teachers, English as a second language (ESL) teachers, and school guidance staff. Program objectives were met or surpassed in native language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, attendance, parental involvement, staff development, and curriculum development, and not met in English language development. Recommendations for program improvement are given. (Author/MSE)
