In 1985-86, Project CLIMB was in its first year of funding at two high schools in the Bronx, New York. The program provided instructional and supportive services to 188 students of limited English proficiency (LEP) in grades 9-12. The students were recent immigrants from Cambodia and Vietnam, and all spoke their native language at home. The goal of Project CLIMB is to increase students' proficiency in English through English as a second language (ESL) instruction and instruction in mathematics, science, and social studies in an ESL format. The project provided four Apple personal computers to facilitate individualized instruction, but for security reasons the computers remained unused. Supportive services for program students consisted of academic, personal, and vocational counseling; contact with families; and referrals to outside services. Staff and curriculum development activities were also conducted. Program students at one school did much better on end-of-year achievement tests than students at the other school; school climate is thought to have had a strong effect. Nonetheless, program students at both sites had higher attendance rates and lower dropout rates than mainstream students. Numerous recommendations have been offered for improving the program in its second year. (KH)
