Project BETA provided intellectually gifted, limited English proficient (LEP) students with educational programs geared to their talents. The program also sought to instill in students a sense of pride in their native cultures through exposure to their arts, histories, and languages. The program's chief goal was to prepare all students for mainstreaming by the twelfth grade. Two hundred twenty-nine Haitian, Korean, and Vietnamese speaking pupils were served at two sites in Queens, New York, and one in the Bronx, New York. Project students attended courses in English as a Second Language (ESL) at each site and, in addition, Vietnamese students at Theodore Roosevelt High School and Korean students at William C. Bryant High School received social studies instruction in their native languages. This evaluation of BETA's three-year funding cycle, which ended in 1986, contains the following: (1) an overview of the program; (2) information on student characteristics; (3) evaluation findings; and (4) conclusions and recommendations. Appendices with student test results and passing rates in content area courses are also included. (PS)
