Career Awareness Resources for Exceptional Students (Project CARES) 1992-93. Final Evaluation Report. OER Report.
Bruno, Paula
Project CARES (Career Awareness Resources for Exceptional Students) served a total of 137 high school students with limited English proficiency and disabilities. The Title VII (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) funded program functioned in two Bronx (New York City) schools. The program provided instruction in English as a second language, in native language arts, and in the content areas of mathematics, science, and social studies. The program stressed career awareness and computer literacy and the attainment of independent life skills. Teachers had the opportunity to attend weekly staff development meetings which focused on such topics as multicultural education, integration of computer-assisted instruction within the curriculum, working with parents, counseling goals, English as a Second Language (ESL), behavior management, and infusion of career education. The Project sought to establish an active parental component by offering career conferences, open school days/evenings, and adult ESL. The Project met most of its objectives. The need for an appropriate means of evaluating growth in English language proficiency is stressed. Appendices include lists of instructional and curriculum materials, schedules of instruction, and questionnaires. (Author/DB)
