In 1984-1985, the final year of funding, Project BACIS provided instructional, resource, and supportive assistance to three different populations of recent immigrants from Cambodia, Haiti, and Vietnam at three high schools in New York City: Christopher Columbus (Bronx), Samual J. Tilden (Brooklyn), and Walton High School (Bronx). At each site the program maintains a resource room, equipped with materials in the students' native languages. Over half of the students were Haitians; the other students were speakers of Khmer, Vietnamese, and various Asian languages. Program staff at each site worked with varying numbers of students. All students spoke their native language at home and were reading below grade level. The Vietnamese and Cambodian students suffered major interruptions in their education as a result of political upheaval in their native countries. At each site, students received instruction in English as a second language (ESL). Although the project proposed that both native language arts and content-area classes would be taught in the native language, students were placed in classes according to the availability of such instruction at each school. Supportive services to program students included academic, personal, and vocational counseling, contact with families, and referrals to outside services. Overall, the project achieved its objectives in English language, mathematics, science, and social studies achievement. (KH)
