An evaluation was done of New York City Board of Education's Program Assistance for Neophytes (Project PAN) for 1989-90. The program served 625 Asian American, limited English proficient students, most of whom were recent immigrants, at John Bowne and Newtown High Schools in Queens. The program provided a transitional period of bilingual education and the opportunity for students to learn job skills and adjust to a new environment. The evaluation found that the project was fully implemented in that it provided students with instruction in English as a Second Language, second language learning for English proficient students, Native Language Arts, content area subjects, and career education. The project also offered support services, staff and curriculum development, and parental involvement activities. The program met its objectives in language education, career education, attendance, dropout prevention, staff development, curriculum development, and parental involvement. It partially met the objectives in content area subjects. A program weakness was the lack of bilingual services in Vietnamese and Urdu. A program strength was its peer tutoring component. Two tables illustrate student achievement in content area courses and attendance rates of program and mainstream students by school. (JB)
