Effective Transition (Project E.T.) Final Evaluation Report, 1992-93. OER Report.
Musante, Patricia
This report presents an evaluation of the Effective Transition (ET) project, an Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII-funded project in its second year of operation at Lafayette High School and Pershing Intermediate School in Brooklyn, New York. The project served a total of 300 students of limited English proficiency who were native speakers of Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, or other Chinese dialects. Participating students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), and the content area subjects of mathematics, science, social studies, and computer science. The project also included peer tutoring, career advice, staff development workshops, a parental advisory committee, and parent ESL classes. An evaluation of project ET found that it met its objectives for NLA in Cantonese, the content areas of mathematics, science, social studies, and computer education, attendance, curriculum development, career development for advisement, and staff development for increased awareness of pupil needs. The project failed to meet its objectives for ESL, NLA in Spanish, career development for conferences, and staff development for enrollment in university courses. Three appendixes include a list of instructional materials used, class schedules, and a staff survey questionnaire. (MDM)
