Excellence and Success through Career Understanding and Enriched Language Activities (Project ESCUELA). Community School District 14, Brooklyn. Final Evaluation Report, 1992-93. OER Report.
Lynch, Joanne
This report presents an evaluation of the Excellence and Success through Career Understanding and Enriched Language Activities (Project ESCUELA), an Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII-funded project in its second year of operation at five schools in Brooklyn, New York. The project served 415 Spanish-speaking and 178 Yiddish-speaking students of limited English proficiency. Participating students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA) and content subjects, as well as computer training and career education. Staff development programs, parent participation workshops and ESL instruction for parents were integral to the project. An evaluation of Project ESCUELA found that it met its objectives for Spanish NLA, Yiddish NLA, staff development, and parent involvement. It failed to meet its objectives for English development, the content area subjects of science and social studies, or mainstreaming. Recommendations on program improvement are included. Two appendixes include a list of instructional materials used and class schedules. (MDM)
