Data Collection Report on Language Minority Children.
Berube, Barney
This report presents statistical data on the characteristics, distribution, enrollment rate, and academic achievement of language-minority children in Maine. The report contains three parts: (1) summative data on the total numbers of K-12 English monolingual and bilingual children in the state, private and public school survey return rates, distribution of minority languages spoken by school-age children, high concentration areas of language minority children, and trends in refugee enrollment; (2) a chart summarizing low-incidence school district enrollments, support program enrollments, and training needs; and (3) results of the 1988-89 and 1989-90 statewide educational assessments of the academic achievement of language-minority children in grades 4, 8, and 11, with interpretation. In addition, a substantial appendix consisting of individual school district reports and published under separate cover is also included in this document. (MSE)
