Helpful Opportunities for Pupil Enrichment (Project HOPE). Final Evaluation Report, 1993-94. OER Report.
Yanping, Ann
The Helpful Opportunities for Pupil Enrichment (Project HOPE) was an Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII-funded project in its third year in 1993-94. It operated at three intermediate schools in New York City. In the year evaluated, Project HOPE served 365 Spanish- and Chinese-speaking students in grades 6 through 8 who were categorized as being of limited English proficiency. Participants received instruction in English as a second language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), and subject content areas. The project offered career counseling, staff development, and parent involvement activities. Project HOPE met its objectives for Chinese NLA, advising, attendance, curriculum development, and parent participation. It partially met objectives for content area subjects, but did not meet ESL and Spanish NLA objectives. Recommendations are designed to increase English and NLA proficiency and the use of educational technology. Nine tables present study findings. Two appendixes describe instructional materials and class schedules. (Author/SLD)
