Project BEAM UP provides instructional and supportive services to 233 Hispanic and Haitian students (Grandes 9-12) of limited English proficiency (LEP) at Sarah J. Hale High School in Brooklyn, New York. The project's main objective is to enable LEP students to participate in mainstream content-area classes by as early as the middle of their junior year. Electing to take courses in either an academic or vocational track, all students receive instruction in English as a Second Language, English and native arts, bilingual content-area classes, and mainstream content-area classes. Quantitative analysis of student achievement data during the project's first year indicates that most students showed significant gains in language skills, both English and native, and they achieved high passing rates in vocational subjects. Program students' passing rates in mathematics were not significantly higher than those from mainstream students, but they surpassed mainstream students' performance in social studies courses. The following recommendations are suggested for program improvement: (1) formulate a policy for teaching Haitian Creole and French that considers both the students' level of proficiency and state foreign language requirements; (2) supplement the teaching of Haitian Creole with intensive instruction in Creole writing; (3) attempt to acquire materials in Haitian Creole for classroom use; (4) provide staff development activities to improve teachers' skills in Creole writing; and (5) increase paraprofessional's contributions to individualizing instruction.
