A SUMMARY OF THE EVALUATIONFOR THE BASIC TRILINMAL PROGRAM

FLUSHING HIGH SCHOOL19132=1983

This program, in its third and final year of funding, pro-vided instruction in E.S.L. to 185 Hispanic and 51 Korean students oflimited English proficiency in grades nine through twelve. Nativelanguage studies and bilingual courses were only offered in Spanishsince the Korean student population was too small to make bilingualsubject-area classes feasible for them. Bilingual courses for Hispanicstudents included social studies, mathematics, science, art, music, andtyping. The Korean students attended E.S.L. classes, a course in civicsfor new Americans, which incorporated native language studies throughclass aad homework assignments, and academic courses offered In the_mainstream. Most program students were immigrants whose educationalhistories varied greatly; approximately seven percent were functionallyor totally illiterate in their native language. Most of the Koreanstudents, on the other hand, attended schools in their native countryand had mastered at least basic academic skills. Thus, many came to theprogram with a high level of academic preparedness.

nne of the major program goals was to expedite the acquisitionof those FngIish language skills recessary for full mainstreaming. Oncemafnstreamed, program students ta§k some courses designed for linguisticminority stfillentt which utilized an E.S&L. approach. The program'sphilosophy was to support students in 1 phases of their academic pro-grams until they were ready to functioft in mainstream courses. Transitionwas omphastied for all program students.

Title VII funds supported all administrative and support servicesstaff, with the_exception of the_principal0 whose position wassupportedby _tax,levy funds& All instructional services were funded by tax,levyAnd P.S&E.N. monies; paraprofessional assistance was alto provided byTitle VII. Curriculum materials were translated and adapted to supplementcourses developed during the first year of the program. These included:civics for new Americans; native language_arts; language arts; typing;biology; and E.S.L. Supportive services to- program students consisted -of-individual and group counseling* meeting with parents, referrals to outsideagencies, as well a career information and_ortentation. Oevelopmentactivities for staff members included monthly department and staffmeetings and attendance at in -house and outside wofshops, demonstrationlessons, conferences_, and symposia& Parents of participating studentswere_involved through a Parent Advisory Committee, attendance at "schoolweek" meetings, and through telephone calls, letters, and the programnewsletter.

Students were assessed in English language development (CriterionReferenced English Syntax Test and the _New York_ nit .Rea Test)177gT157in their mastery of the native language (teacher mane tests); bIlinguel

r.ontent=area courses (teacher-made tests and the New YorkCity MathematicsTest); and attendance (school and program records). Quantitative analysisTraudent achievement indicates that;

--In the fall, program students mastered an average of 1.99CREST objectives per month on Levels I and II and 0.62 objec=tiwes per month on Level III. :n the spring, Level. I and11 students mastered an average of 1.17 CREST objectives permonth, and Level III students mastered 0.41 objectives. Pighpre-test scores on Level III in both semesters resulted inthe lower mastery rate on this level.

.Gains made by eleventh and twelfth griders on the Hew York CityReading Test, were not statistically significant.

--Results of eleventh and twelfth graders on the New York CityMathematics Test were not statistically signifiliariniasizes were' small but positive.

--In the fall, passing rates of program students in content-areasubjects exceeded 80 percent passing. In the spring, overallpassing rates declined And ranged from 67 percent passingin mathematics to 87 pement passing in business/vocationalsubjects.

--The overall passing rates of Hispanic students in nativelanguage studies classes were 92 percent in the fall and90 percent in the spring.

--The attendance rate of program students was significantlyhigher than the gneral school attendance.

Overall. the Title VII Trilingual Program was effective andefficiently implemented, resulting in a supportive learning environmentfor program students. It is recommended that the school_ continue itsefforts to meet the needs of those Hispanic and Korean students requiringbilingual services.

I. DEMOGRAPHIC CONTEXT

ENVIRONMENT

Flushing High School is located on Northern Boulevard, a major

thoroughfare in Queens that is two blocks from the heart of Flushing's

commercial aistrict. The school serves an attendanze area that is becoming

increasingly diverse. The northern sector Is characterized by private

houses that would not be out of place in a middle to upper class suburban

setting. Some apartment buildings also exist within this area. South

of this region lies Corona- Jackson Heights, a somewhat integrated middle=,

and working=class neighborhood where most of the school's Hispanic

students mike.

The school's attendance district has undergone major changes.

Extremely 4ccessible to public transportation, it haS become the second

largest Asian-American community in New York City, with Koreans comprising

the largest single group accounting for this iftflux. In addition to

Page 11: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · 2020. 5. 4. · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 245 038 OD 023 627 AUTHOR Inman, Deborah L.; Schulman, Robert _ TITLE Flushing High School, A Basic Trilingual Program

living in the area, the relatively new Korean population has affected

the area as a whole by purchasing stores, constructing new buildings,

and opelying new businesses; As a res0t, they have contributed signifi-

cantly and visibly to the community's economic viability. While they

have lived in the area for a somewhat longer time than the Asian re-

sidents, the Hispanic population represents a significant population

shift since 1970. During the following decade, the Hispanic population

in Queens doubled. The CoronaJackson Heights area served by Flushing

High School is the fastest growing Latin American community in New York

City and one which contains one of the tvio largest communities of im-

migrants from the Dominican Republic;

The school population is only partly representative of its

attendance district. The children of most of the 25,000 Koreans in it

attend private schools, travel to schools in Chinatown, or go to nearby

Newtown High School, where a large Asian bilingual program serving Koreans

has been in operation for years. The etnnic breakdown of the student

population is Asian, 9.6 percent; Hispanic, 26.3 percent; black, 22.7

pertent; and white; 1;5 percent;

SITE CHARACTERISTICS

A comprehensive high school, Flushing High School has 2,260

students in grades nine through twelve exclusive of special education

programs. The decrease in enrollment over the past few years is apparently

due to the resolution of the status of long-term truants. The percentage

of Asian and Hispanic students has been increasing each year. In rec-

ognition of this trend, the administration hopes that one result of its

emphasis on English language acquisition and career orientation will "be

an increase in the size of the student body.

Originally built in 1875, Flushing High School had a new wing

added in 1965. Both the exterior landscaping and the interior of the

ibuilding are well maintained. The program office is located on the first

floor and is adjacent to the resource room where materials are kept.

The resource room is also used by program staff for individual and small=

group instruction, student and parent consultations, and class preparation.

II. STUDENT CHARACTERISTICS

COMPOSITIZ$LVDAIVERSIU

The trilingual program's target population consists of 185 (78

percent) Hispanic and 51 (22 percent) Korean students. Table 1 presents

the program students by country of origin and Table 2 breaks down the

students by sex and grade.

DiStlhct differences exist in terms of linguistic and academic

preparedness between the Hispanic and Korean students. Among the Hispanics,

academic background varies greatly, ranging from those who have had no

formal schooling and have been placed in high school because of their age

to those with some previous high school education. Approximately seven

percent of the Hi spanic program students are functionally or totally illiterate

in their native language, a fact that presents a major obstacle to their

learning both English and the subject matter necessary for high school

graduation. The staff feels that the previous education of the Dominican

students is especially poor; many come from rural areas whose dilapidated

schools reflect the general poverty of the inhabitants. The staff ob=

served that students from other Latin American countries seem far better

prepared than those from the Dominican Republic.

The Korean students, on the other hand, have attended schools in

their native Ountry where they have mastered at least rudimentary academic

skills. As a result, many begin work in the program with an already high

level of academic preparedness. Even while they still lack English proficiency,

many of these students are enrolled in advanced classes in mathematics and_

sciences i n which they excel. By the time they are promoted to the advanced

level of English as a second language (E.SL;), they are already studying

calculus. Beginning with literacy in their native language and a grasp

of baSic skills, these students transfer this knowledge with relative ease.

Whereas the Korean students come from an extremel& stable

community, the Hispanic students come from a highly mobile one. The staff

noted that many Hispanic students' edt ration was interrupted because

families returned to their homelands for various reasons. In addition,

economic difficulties in their families increase the likelihood that

the Hispanic students will leave school to supplement their families'

inadequate incomes. The staff felt that the academic performance of

some of the Hispanic students might be hindered by their proximity to

Jackson Heights, a neighborhood that borders Corona and is a major drug

dealing center in the borough. They felt that all of these factors might

have a negative effect on the Hispanic students' chance for success in the

program.

Most program students, as has been indicated, are immigrants.

Their educational histories are considerably varied. Many have suffered

interrupted schooling, or a lack of educational opportunities in their

countries of birth. Table 3 presents the program students by age and

grade.

The high proportions of overage students suggest that special

consideration should be made when setting standards of performance for

these groups and interpreting their outcomes. Many students have been

placed in a grade because of their age, not their academic preparedness.

As a result, they may lack cognitive and linguistic proficiency in their

native language, which has implications for their ability to acquire

oral and literacy skills in English. Table 4 presents a breakdown of

the time spent by students in the bilingual program, by grade level.

III. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY

Ttia philosophy of the program, as stated by the project director,

is to maintain the students in all aspects of their academic program until

they can function in mainstream classes. Transition is stressed for all

program students. Program staff and school administration share the view

that LEP students should receive instruction in their native language,

while they learn English Once they become proficient in their second

language and seem able to function outside the program, they are main-

streamed. Such an emphasis gains support from the existence of some

mainstre!rn courses that are designed for linguistic minority students and

use an E.S.L. approach to facilitate their success. A list of the program's

specific evacuation objectives is included as Appendix A.

PROGRAM HISTORY

The trilingual program has emerged out of a history of support

for bilingual education on the part of the school administration. Prior

to the enactment of Title VII, the principal initiated a tax-levy program

that stressed E.S.L. and eventually provided full bilingual instruction

for Hispanic students. The trilingual program extended the scope of the

earlier tax-levy program by including Korean students, expanding course

offerings, and improving such areas as identification and placement of

students, individual attention to students; staffing, community outreach,

and supportive services.

PROGRAM ORGANIZATION

Within the school's administrative framework, the assistant

principal in charge of social studies has swpervisory responsibility for

the foreign language, E.S.L., and the trilingual program. The program

director has direct responsibility for the smooth operation of the bi=

lingual program. She attends regular meetings with the principal and

other department heads.

IV. INSTRUCTIONAL COMPONENT

PIACEMENTANDPROGRAWING

Placement of students in the trilingual program begins in some

instances at the junior high school level when the staff visits feeder

schools near the end of the school year in order to administer placement

tests in E.S.L., natime language arts, and mathematics and to observe

prospective program participants. The score on the Language Assessment

Battery test (LAB) is considered for all prospective program students.

Hispanic and Korean students who score below the twenty=first percentile

are eligible for the program. Students are also eligible if they score

higher than this, but are two or more years below grade level on a

standardized test of English. All students are then interviewed by the

guidance counselor who examines their test scores and school profiles in

order to confirm placement and devise an appropriate individual program.

Much of what appeared in the 1979=80 evaluation report concerning student

programming remained unchanged.

INSTRUCTIGMAI_OFFERINGS

Six levels of E.S.L. classes have been scheduled. After com-

a transitional English class that will further prepare the student for a

mainstream English class. In addition to tie entrance exam for E.S.L.

classes, the program director devised exit examinations for students before

advancing to the transition English or mainstream classes. Table 7 lists

courses in E.S.L. offered during the 1982=83 year.

NativelonIn its second year of operation, the program expanded its offer=

ingn to Spanish native-language instruction to a ten-term sequence. This

was continued during the third year, This sequence includes the advanced

Spanish classes, which constitute the last four terns of the native

language program design. These classes include some non-LEP Mispanic

studeets who have advanced facility with Spanish. In addition to their

gaining experience from taking classes designed for students for whom

Spanish is not a "foreign language," their presence provides program

students with valuable contact with the school's mainstream population,

thereby decreasing their isolation from the sehool as a whole. Table 8

lists native-language courses, 411 of which net five times a week.

although many of the units in it-are made available in translation for

the students in Spanish and Korean. Two E.S.L. classes, two math labs,

a science class, a music class, and a calligraphy class were also observed

by an evaluator. Most of the classrooms were large and well-lighted.

In each, the bulletin boards were artfully prepared to teach all students

a little about the countries represented by the student population. The

students in each class were well behaved, and there appeared to be a

genuine warmth among the students, teachers, and program staff. The

enthusiasm of the program staff and the support from the teachers and

school administrators at Flushing appears to be exceptional. The success

of the program may be largely due to this special rapport.

BILINGUAL_STUDENTSAILMAIRSTREAM_COURSES

Since their numbers are too small for it to be feasible to

organize bilingual subject-area classes for them, Korean students take

most of their academic subjects in the mainstream. In a course in which

they are heavily enrolled, like calligraphy, special attention can be paid

to English-language skills. More than fifty percent of the Korean students

tested for inclusion in the program take advanced placement tests in mathe-

matics and science, and, for the most part, are placed in such courses.

Many of these students take a transitional English course offered by the

department prior to taking other mainstream English classes An evaluator

observed one such class, which was made up of both Korean and Hispanic

students Table 10 lists mainstream courses in which Korean and Hispanic

students were enrolled during the 1982 -83 yeaN As may be seen, bi-

lingual students participate in a broad range of mainstream classes.

CURRICULUM AND MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT

The program staff strengthened the courses that had been

specifically developed and adapted during the first year of the program

by translating and adapting existing materials and texts. These included:

Civics for New Anericans in English and Spanish; Native Language Arts

in Spanish; workbooks to accompany texts for Native Language Arts;

Calligraphy (Language Arts = E.S.L. approach); typing (Language Arts);

Transitional English; curriculum for E.S.L. I and E.S.L. 2; coutse outline

for E.S.L. 3=6; math lab; and Korean translation of civics and biology terms.

The resource room is exceptionally well-equipped with books,

filmstrips, cassettes, maps, and various audiovisual and instructional

materials to supplement classroom activities (see Appendix B).

The program has added significantly to the school library by

purchasing reference materials -- cookbooks, the classics, as well as

general reading, in Spanish and Korean.

STAFF _CHARACTER ST ICS

Appendix C indicates the characteristics of professional and

paraprofessional staff. Many have extensive teaching experience in and

outside bilingual education. Unfortunately, it fts been necessary for

some of the bilingual content=area teachers to teach subjects outside

their area of license. Special workshops were held in an attempt to

share ideas and content-area knowledge among teachers to make this task

less formidable.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT

As a result of past staff development activities, teacher

attendance and enthusiasm continued to increase. The peer group work=

shops with different teachers taking responsibility for introducing a

particular topic were considered by the staff to be so effective in

meeting staff needs in 1981-82 that in 1982-83, they were replaced

by more general meetings. Appendix U lists the staff training activities

that were conducted during the year.

SUPPORTIVE SERVICES

The guidance counselor provides individual and group counseling.

She handles discipline problems referred to her by the coordinator, as

well as doing both crisis and preventative counseling. While she works

primarily with the students, she meets with their parents when necessary.

She makes referrals to such community resources as the Flushing Mental

Health Clinic and Flmor Youth and Adult Activities, Inc.

In addition to personal counseling; she brings in outside

speakers from colleges to talk to students about career and educational

possibilities. Having received training from staff at neighboring colleges,

the staff assists the guidance counselor in advising students on such

aspects of college applications as forms, requirements, and financial aid.

Additionally, the coordinator introduced a greater degree of career in-

formation and orientation into the program so that students who are not

college-bound can be better served.

Only two program students have been identified as in need of

special education services. While in the past such students have !lad to

travel to Eastern District High School in Brooklyn or Brandeis High School

in Manhattan for these services, beginning in the fall of 1982 they were

referred to William Bryant High School in Queens for full special education

programs. Program students requiring partial special attention were served

in the resource room at Flushing by speciely trained teachers. Two such

students were served during the 1982=83 year.

PARENTAL AND _COMMURITT_INVOLVEMENT

Ongoing contact with parents is maintained through telephone calls,

letters, and the monthly program newsletter. In addition, a Parent

Advisory Committee with 12 to 2n mostly Hispanic members (of whom seven

formed the core group) met every other month to consider such practical

matters as planning for next year's bilingual program and submitting new

proposals. The program distributed information to parents about the

adult education courses at Flushing High School, the E.S.L. program at

the Korean Center, and the English-language classes at Oueens College.

Parents attended open school week meetings and frequently visited class=

room programs on an individual basis.

AFFECTIYEAMAIN

Student attitudes toward the program appear to be extremely

positive. Attendance is about 95 percent and program students have re-

ceived several awards, including the Queens College President Award and

the Art Award given by the U.F.T. Students are active in school=wide

clubs and athletics, although 30 to 40 percent work after school. It

was reported that of the twelfth-grade students who had made post-high

school plans, 27 hoped to attend college; two students desired addi=

tional vocational or career training; one intended to find l' 't

and one student planned to join the armed fortes. No students were sus-

pended during the 1932-83 year and discipline in general has not been a

problem among program students. In addition to the academic performance

of program students, all of these facts are indicators of the stelents.

VI. FINDINGS

The following section presents the assessment instruments and

procedures used in evaluatir the attainment of program objectives. These

objectives (see Appendix A) v c found to be vaguely or inappropriately

worded, making assessment difficult. Thus, reported student achievement

often differs from the outcomes proposed.

ENGLISFLREADINGANELCOMPRENENSIGN

The Criterion Referenced English Syntax Test (CREST) was one

of the instruments used to measure achievement in this area. The CREST

was developed by the New York City Public Schools to assess mastery of

instruct _vial objectives of E.S.L. curricula at the high school level.

There are four items for each objective and mastery of an objective is

acjIleved when three of the items are answered correctly. The test has

three levels: beginning (I), intermediate (II), and advanced (III). The

maximum score on Levels I and II is 25 and 15 on Level III.

A gain score was calculated by subtracting the pre-teit (elan

score from the post-test mean and an index of objectives achieved per

month was then computed. As the test's levels have not been vertically

equated students emst be pre- and post-tested on the same level. This

results in a ceiling effect for those students who achieve high $cores

on the pre-test. In those cases where pre- and post- testings are ot)

different levels no gain scores or objectives per month index may be

computed. Information on CREST objectives and psychometric properties

appears in the Technical Manual, New York City English as a Second Language

Criterion Referenced English Sntax Tesf.

Program objectives were icidefinite in regard to student achieve=

ment on the CREST. The test was administered at the beginning and end

of eadti term; Table 11 presents the test results by semester. Data

were missing or incomplete for 70 students in the fall term and 63

students in the spring term. Examination of Table 11 reveals that in

the fall, program students mastered an average of 1.99 CREST objectives

per month on Levels I and II. The rate of mastery for Level III students

was 8.62. In the spring, stridents on Levels I and II mastered an average

of 1.17 objectives per month while Level III students mastered 0.41

objectives per month. High pre-test scores on Level III in both semesters

left little or no room to score higher on the post-test. Because of the

vague wording of program objectives in this area it is not possible to

state whether proposed objectives were met.

The other instrument used to assess English reading and compre-

hension was the New York- Ci-ty Readin% Test, actually two standardized

tests which have been renormed for use with students from the New York

City public schools. Grades 9 through 12 use the tomprehensIve_Test_of

Basic Skills (C.T.B.S.) and the California Achievement Test (CAT) as follows:

Info nation on psychometric properties may be obtained from

the test publishers. New York City norms may be obtained from the

New York City Public Schools, Office of Testing, 110 Livingston Street,

Brooklyn, New York 11201.

Table 12 presents the results for the New York City Reading

Test. Results differed greatly for the eleventh and twelfth grades for

which there were sufficient numbers of students to perform a statistical

test. Results were not statistically significant for either grade but

each showed a small effect size, albeit in opposite directions. The

pattern of achievement and generally low normal curve equivalents (N.C.E.$)

achieved by Flushing's LEP students suggest that the validity of a

standardized test may be questionable for evaluation purposes: the

test may not be measuring the areas in which these students are pro=

gressing.

The YarkMxl14a_t_heITItatics Jest was administered to measure

achievement in mathematics. A statistical test could be performed for

eleventh and twelfth graders only (see Table 13). In neither case were

the results of statistical significance and effect sizes were snail but

positive. Once again, a vaguely worded objective precludes assessment.

The N.C.E. scores obtained thy program students were close to or within

the range of chance, suggesting that this test is too difficult for the

students who were reported. The test apparently does not tap the domains

in Which these students were learning.

Stated program objectives also called for administratiom of

standardized tests to assess student achievement in content-area courses.

As standardized test scores were not provided, passing rates were computed

for students enrolled in content-area courses. Tables 14 and 15 present

enrollment and passing rates by semester.

The overall passing rates of students enrolled in mathematics

classes (including general math, remedial math, pre=algebra, algebra, geo=

metry, eleventh- and twelfth-grade math, computer and business math) were

81 percent in the fall and 67 percent in the spring, For science classes

(including general science, biology, chemistry, geology, hygiene, and

"other") passing rates were 86 percent in fall and 76 percent in spring.

In social studies courses (including civics, economics, world geography,

and world and American history) the rates were 88 percent and 78 percent

NATIVE LANGUAGE ACHIEVEMENT

Table 16 presents passing rates for students enrolled in

Spanish language classes by grade and semester. The overall passing

rAtes were 92 percent and 90 percent in the fall and spring terms, re-

spectively. The strongest performance was made by twelfth -grade students

who achieved 100 percent passing rates each bemester. No data were

provided for Korean students, as no language classes could be provided

for them. The program objective in this area could not be assessed as

it specified that pre/post tests be administered in this area.

STUDENT ATTITUDES

Program objectives also called for measurement of improvement

in student attitude toward cultural enrichient activities and attitude

toward school activities. Achievement in the first area could not

assessed since no data were reported. In addition, limited funding

precluded the analysis of data obtained from a questionnaire (OUESTA)

used to assess attitudes toward school activities.

ATTENDANCE

The program did not provide data to assess the objective in

the area of attendance as proposed; As a consequence, it was decided

to assess program attendance versus general school attendance; Attendance

data for program students are presented in Table 17. The z-test was

used to examine the difference in attendance rates of program students

and the general school population. A result (i-value) sufficiently

large to attain statistical significance indicates that the program

attendance rate is not based on a representative sample of the school

population, i.e., that the two attendance rates are significantly different.

As the results presented in Table 18 indicate, the attendance rate of

program students was higher than that of the school to a statistically

signifJcant degree.

VII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Flushing High School serves an attendance area that has become

increasingly diverse over the past. several years. Although previously

predominantly Hispanic, it has become the second largest Asian American

community in New York City, with Koreans comprising the largest single

group accounting for this influx. The Hispanic population has also

experienced a significant shift since 1970, with the Hispanic population

doubling. It is the fastest growing Latin AMerican community in New

York City and contains one of the two largest communities of immigrants

from the Dominican Republic.

The rising number c LEP students, and their heterogeneity,

posed an increasing challer to the staff at Flushing High School.

Prior to the inception of the bilingual program in 1980, bilingual tax=

levy classes were offered for Hispanics, and E.S.L. was offered for all

LEP students. Hispanic students could enrol in regular Spanish classes,

but no native-language courses directly addressed their needs. Nor were

courses offered to bridge the gap between E.S.L. and English. Perceiving

a need for more extensive and coordinated services for LEP students, the

assistant principal for social studies and the school's 'renewal coordinator"

(a social studies teacher whose responsibilities included proposal

development under privately funded "Project Renewal"), wrote a proposal

to serve these students under Title VII.

In its first year of funding, the Flushing Trilingual Program

was successful in developing a substantial base. Courses were conceptual-

ized and developect, material was located, resource center and library

49

Page 48: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · 2020. 5. 4. · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 245 038 OD 023 627 AUTHOR Inman, Deborah L.; Schulman, Robert _ TITLE Flushing High School, A Basic Trilingual Program

acquisitions were made available, a needs assessment was conducted for

staff members, and staff development sessions were held. Trips, counsel-

ing, tutoring, and career activities were offered to participating students.

This extensive implementation in a short period was facilitated by the

support and collaboration of the school principal and other administrative

and pedagogical staff members. The use of high interest electives with

a language arts approach, as well as the creative use of the ?orean

paraprofessional in the cultural values/civics for new Americans courses,

proved to be particularly effective.

During its second year, staff development training sessions

were successfully implemented both in relation to content and participa-

tion. The bilingual program introduced new courses which strengthened

the previous year's instructional program, and developed and acquired

additional curricula and library and resource materials. Two courses

were so well received that they were expanded to include not only program

participants but also the general student population. The civics for

new Americans course and Oriental calligraphy served as a means of

bridging cultural gaps and engendering greater cross=cultural underw.

standing.

During its third year, the bilingual program continued to

provide the target population with quality instruction. The diversity

of electives offered combined with the development of additional curric=

ula and acquisition of library and resource materials further enhanced

the project's effectiveness.

The Title VII Trilingual Program at Flushing High School has

been effectively and efficiently implemented. In brief, the program

staff, encouraged by the school principal and supported by other adminis=

trative/pedagogical staff, worked effectively towards creating a warm,

supportive, learning environment in Which students could make important

adjustments to a new setting and expectations. New project=developed

curricula and corresponding materials will be preserved for use in the

school even after this third year of the project. As the final year of

funding comes to an end, it is strongly urged that the school continue

to make every effort to continue serving these students. It is also

recommended that evaluation objectives be developed to reflect instruc=

tion and testing as these are implemented in future bilingutl classes

at Flushing.
