Bilingual Education Evaluation System: Abbreviated Recommendations for Meeting Title VII Evaluation Requirements.

This document is designed to be used with the "Users' Guide". It is written for practitioners who are interested in meeting the federal regulations governing the evaluation of Title VII projects but do not have evaluation training. Six types of bilingual projects are required to fulfill the evaluation requirements specified in the June 19, 1986 Bilingual Education Regulations (Sections 500.50, 500.51, 500.52): (1) transitional (basic) projects; (2) developmental (basic) projects; (3) special alternative instructional (basic) projects; (4) academic excellence projects; (5) special population projects; and (6) family English literacy projects. Part 1 of this document is a copy of the June 19, 1987 evaluation regulations. Each requirement is presented again in part 2, followed by recommendations of what Title VII grantees should do to satisfy the regulation. Suggested evaluation activities are briefly described. (SM)
