The aim of the New York City Board of Education's Bilingual Materials Development Project was to design and implement a process to produce culturally and linguistically relevant curricula and screening instruments for use with Chinese, Haitian, and Korean students of limited English proficiency (LEP) enrolled in Kindergarten through Grade 2. The project was centrally administered under the jurisdiction of the Office of Bilingual Education. Title VII funds supported a full-time project coordinator, resource specialist, secretary, and hourly consultants and teachers. In 1983-84, the project was able to: (1) conduct an extensive needs assessment to determine the need for, and availability and appropriateness of, curriculum materials at the Kindergarten level, for use with the targeted language groups; (2) develop a resource Kindergarten curriculum handbook in each target language; (3) develop a screening instrument for new entrants into Kindergarten through Grade 2 in Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, and Haitian Creole; and (4) begin identifying sites and classroom teachers to pilot test the developed materials. In one year, the project was successful in meeting its objectives even though some objectives were based on a projected time schedule of three years. (KH)
