Project Unity: Short-Term Training Program. Final Evaluation Report, 1992-93. OREA Report.
Derewetzky, Solomon
This report documents the evaluation of Project Unity, a New York City short-term teacher inservice training program designed to improve teacher competence in providing instruction to children of limited English proficiency (LEP). The Project served a total of 119 teachers of LEP students in both special and general education classes in 18 elementary or junior high schools. The year under review stressed implementation of programming. Project teachers participated in a seminar series presented by experienced consultants. The seminars focused on the selection and development of a collaborative model for each school and serving bilingual students through mainstreaming, curriculum and instructional adaptations, individualizing instruction, increasing multicultural awareness, and consultation between general and special education teachers. Data were collected through the use of a Likert-like scale and field visits made by an OREA evaluation consultant. Results indicated the Project met all its objectives. Based on the evaluation's findings, several recommendations were made and are included in this report. Materials distributed to participants, Likert Scales, and observations by the OREA consultant are appended. (LL)
