This handbook is designed to assist classroom teachers of English as a Second Language (ESL) in meeting the needs of their adult students. The handbook is intended for use in a variety of settings and with a variety of teaching styles. The first chapter discusses adult learners' characteristics and the factors affecting their learning. The second chapter looks at program components and considerations, including counseling and guidance, life skills, vocational ESL, academic curricula, comprehensive curricula, and textbook evaluation and selection. Chapter 3 describes several ESL teaching methods and discusses content area instruction, learning styles, and lesson planning. Chapter 4 describes the characteristics and background of effective ESL instructors, assessment of instructional strength, and means of professional growth. The fifth chapter examines aspects of adult programming to help instructors understand local programs and assist in designing orientation procedures, focusing on curriculum and materials, teachers' non-instructional responsibilities, placement and attendance, accounting, and personnel and finances. Appended materials include a sample ESL needs assessment, a sample textbook evaluation form, lesson plans for three proficiency levels, an outline of teaching methodologies, and a list of characteristics of effective lessons.

This handbook, designed for classroom teachers, administrators, and parents of limited-English-proficient (LEP) children, describes aspects of successful bilingual education program design. In general, the handbook's focus is on school settings with large numbers of LEP students. Chapter 1 reviews research findings on effective program design and provides illustrations from California schools which use content-based curriculum in the home language. The second chapter examines bilingual program content by subject area, and describes how the requirements of the core curriculum interact with the special needs of the LEP student. Chapter 3 details one possible organizing scheme for large-scale bilingual programs, i.e., the transitional bilingual education program, and focuses on key questions in classroom-level planning. In the fourth chapter, essential elements for effective program support are discussed, including a staff of trained professionals who believe in and act on the assumption that every student can do well in school, and appropriate instructional materials, parental involvement, and periodic program evaluation. The final chapter reviews the key elements of program design and provides a checklist for planners. (MSE)
This report is designed to assist members of a Program Quality Review (PQR) team in: (1) conducting a review of the effects of a middle school's curriculum, instructional methodologies, and effectiveness strategies on the students; (2) guiding the development of an action plan; and (3) providing a model for the school's own self-study. The report has four parts. Part I describes how the quality criteria can be used for planning and implementation of school improvement initiatives at a school site. Part II is a guide to be used by schools in conducting a self-study. Part III describes the methodology and procedures of PQR, the application of the quality criteria to the school's curricular and instructional program, and the means by which suggestions in the Report of Findings might be developed. Part IV contains the criteria that consist of narrative statements portraying the central features of high quality, followed by a series of concrete descriptions indicative of each quality. A review team may consist of persons who are outside the district, as is the case in a formal PQR, or the team may be made up of school staff and parents who wish to conduct an informal self-study.
