Bilingual Teacher Intern Program; School Year 1975-1976.
Roth, William
This report is an evaluation of a New York City school district educational project funded under Title Vll of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The goals of the program were to provide bilingual instructional services in all subject areas to Hispanic pupils of limited English-speaking ability and to select, train, and place bilingual teachers in the classroom. Approximately 2400 Hispanic children in grades K-8 were served by the program. Eighty college graduates with teaching credentials and bilingual communication skills in English and Spanish served as interns in the instructional program. The interns were placed in 54 schools encompassing three New York City boroughs. The program was staffed by a Project Director, a Coordinator, three Field/Counselors/Teacher Trainers, and two administrative aides. Teacher training was conducted through three components: in-service workshops, graduate school training, and field supervision. Specific program objectives and the means for achieving these objectives are outlined. The findings are presented and discussed. On the basis of the results it was concluded that the major objectives were met. (Author/BS)
