Integrated Methods for Pupils to Reinforce Occupational and Vocational Effectiveness (Project IMPROVE) was a federally funded project in its second year of operation in two Manhattan (New York) high schools in 1992-93. It served limited-English-proficient students, 186 Latino and 13 Asian-American, in grades 9-12. Students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), science, mathematics, social studies, and career education. Program staff attended workshops and conferences, had the opportunity to take college courses, and developed curriculum materials. Parent involvement activities included ESL classes, meetings, interviews with program staff, and educational field trips. The project met its objectives for Spanish and Chinese NLA, familiarity with American citizenship and culture, cultural pride, attitude toward school, dropout prevention, attendance, career education, and parent involvement. It partially met objectives for content area subjects and staff enrollment in area colleges. It failed to meet objectives for ESL and staff awareness of pupil needs and problems. Recommendations for program improvement include: exploration of reasons for low ESL achievement and augmentation of teaching methods as needed; formation of content area study groups, with individualized and peer instruction; encouragement of staff's college enrollment; increased awareness of student needs and problems through workshops.
