-
Project BETA is a multi-site program serving 224 recent immigrants in ninth through twelfth grade. Originally intended as an enrichment program for gifted and talented students with limited English proficiency (LEP), in practice, the program is open to all LEP students in three targeted languages: Korean, Vietnamese, and Haitian Creole/French. The project is part of the attempt to facilitate social and academic mainstreaming of LEP students by instilling in them a sense of pride in their native cultures through exposure to their histories, arts, and formal study of native languages. Increased parental involvement, and staff and curriculum development were secondary goals. Several changes have occurred since the program was proposed because only partial Title VII funding was available for both the resource teacher positions and the project director, and because lower than expected enrollment made most native language content-area classes impractical. Program objectives were assessed in English language development; and mathematics, science and social studies, which, except for social studies at one site, all were taught in English. Students failed to achieve the proposed English language development goal of mastering two Criterion Referenced English Syntax Test (CREST) objectives per month of instruction. The 85 percent passing objective was met by students in fall mathematics classes. (MCK)
