Cognitive Academic Learning Approaches through ESL Content Area Instruction with Career Exploration Strategies (Project CALA). Final Evaluation Report, 1992-93. OER Report.
Guadalupe, Deana R.
This report presents an evaluation of the Cognitive Academic Learning Approaches through ESL Content Area Instruction with Career Exploration Strategies (Project CALA)), an Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII-funded project in its fifth and last year of operation at International High School, a bilingual special alternative high school in Queens, New York. The project served 459 students of limited English proficiency in grades 9 through 12. Project CALA's goal was to provide opportunities to develop linguistic, cultural, and cognitive skills necessary for success in school and work through its dual literacy component of classroom instruction and community-based internships. Participating students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), career education, occupational courses (health sciences, secretarial studies, computers, business technology, liberal arts, and sciences), internships, and college courses. Staff development activities, curriculum development, and parental involvement activities were an integral part of the project. An evaluation of Project CALA found that it met all of its instructional and non-instructional objectives. Two appendixes include a list of instructional materials used and class schedules. (MDM)
