Title VII Program, Final Technical Report: 1985-86.
Schuyler, Nancy B.; Yonan, Barbara
This report documents the 1985-86 Title VII Program of the Austin (Texas) Independent School District. Major findings indicated the following: (1) three program components--staff training, tutoring, and curriculum development--were implemented as planned; (2) the staff training component included a series of English as a Second Language endorsement courses and teachers' checklist responses showed significant improvement in their ability to organize instruction and use audiovisuals with Limited English Proficient (LEP) students; (3) both tutored and nontutored project LEP students made significant gains on the Language Assessment Battery (LAB), but tutored students did not make significantly greater gains than nontutored students; (4) as part of the curriculum development component a resource collection of multilevel content area materials for four project schools were purchased and an annotated bibliography of multilevel instructional materials was developed; (5) Project LEP students at Murchison Junior High and Travis High Schools made significant gains in reading, language, mathematics, social studies, and science as measured by La Prueba Riverside de Realizacion en Espanol; and (6) proposed objectives that 85% of students involved in Title VII would make gains on the Prueba Riverside, LAB, Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, or Tests of Achievement and Proficiency were not met. Seven appendices make up the majority of this document and are titled as follows: (1) Language Assessment Battery (LAB); (2) Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP); (3) La Prueba Riverside de Realizacion en Espanol; (4) Criterion-Referenced Teacher Competency Checklist; (5) Administrator Interviews; (6) Teacher Survey; and (7) Tutor Records.
