This report examines the status of Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) programs in Massachusetts in 1989. Forty-seven of the 50 school districts operating TBE programs responded to a request for statistical data concerning the following major program areas: (1) student enrollment; (2) former TBE students; (3) TBE students who dropped out; (4) post-graduation plans; (5) years of participation; and (6) staffing and teaching preparation. The following conclusions are reported: (1) the number of Limited-English-Proficient (LEP) students enrolled in TBE programs has increased by 28.6 percent over a 2-year period; (2) the language groups enrolled in TBE that have increased most significantly are Laotian, Vietnamese, Cape Verdean, Chinese, Spanish, and Khmer; (3) the number of bilingual teachers for these language groups has increased, with the exception of Cape Verdean; (4) districts must improve teacher recruitment in those language areas where the TBE student-bilingual teacher ratio is higher than 25:1; (5) LEP student participation rates have remained stable over the past two years; (6) about 50 percent of the seniors enrolled in TBE planned to continue their education after graduation, one-fifth planned to work, and 2 percent planned to enter the military; and (7) the retention rate for students who participated in TBE over a longer period of time is dramatically higher than that for students who participated for only 1 or 2 years. Statistical data are presented in 10 tables and 9 graphs. A list of school districts providing bilingual education programs is appended. (FMW)
