Project Reach Final Evaluation Report, 1992-93. OREA Report.
Clark, Andrew
Project Reach was a federally-funded program in its fifth and final year of operation at one Bronx (New York) high school in 1992-93. It served 926 Spanish-speaking students of limited English proficiency in grades 9-12, an increase of 184 students over the previous year, reflecting an influx of immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Participating students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), mathematics, science, and social studies. Severely undereducated students were block-programmed into a remedial component offering intensive instruction at an elementary level. The project monitored the achievement of participating students, contacting the parents of students in difficulty and taking honor roll students on field trips. It also reimbursed tuition fees for staff taking college courses, and project staff coached inexperienced teachers in bilingual education techniques. Establishment of an active parent involvement component faltered in the previous year, but the project did maintain communication with parents of students having difficulty and recruited parents to accompany field trips. The project met its objectives for ESL, science, attendance, staff development, and parent attendance at open houses. It did not meet its NLA objective or ESL and NLA objectives for the remedial component. (Author/MSE)
