| Abstract | Park West High School's Vocational and High School Equivalency Bilingual Program's purpose was to help limited-English-speaking students develop English skills while receiving occupational training after school through bilingual content-area instruction. The program was funded as a mini-school within the high school, providing the same overall job and career orientation provided to mainstream students. In 1986-87, the program served 224 students in grades nine through twelve. Most were recent immigrants with diverse cultural and immigration histories. Half were overage for their grades. Major emphasis was placed on mainstreaming the students into a vocational mini-school or academic track in the high school, with the aim of preparing them for employment after graduation. Guidance, academic and career counseling, and parental involvement were part of the program. Analysis of student achievement data indicates: (1) English language objectives were met only in the fall semester; (2) program objectives for Spanish language skills were met; (3) the percentage of students passing business or vocational courses did not meet the objective; and (4) program participants had a higher attendance rate than mainstream students. Recommendations for improvement are given. (MSE) |
