Title VII Bilingual Education In Hawaii: Lessons Learned The initial intent in hawaii for securing Federal through preservice and in-service education. Increase parent involvement through empowering activities such http://www.prel.org/products/Products/bilingual-education.htm
Extractions: January 1999 Title VII Bilingual Education in Hawaii: Lessons Learned By Josephine Pablo, Belen Ongteco, and Stan Koki* To respond to these needs, educators are increasingly embracing bilingual education both as an educational strategy and as a means to make sure that students achieve proficiency in English. Recent research evidence is ìoverwhelmingly in favor of bilingual education as the best way to educate limited-English proficient, or LEP childrenî (Yzaguirre, 1998). In Hawaiëi, bilingual education projects have been implemented over the past two decades, beginning in 1974. Hawaii, one of the most linguistically diverse states in the nation, is a potential leader in bilingual and multicultural education, given the strengths and capabilities of its multicultural population. This briefing paper reviews the implementation of Title VII bilingual education in Hawaii for the purpose of sharing the lessons that have been learned from the experience. Bilingual Education on a Federal Scale In 1968, Federal support for the purpose of educating students with limited English skills was established through the enactment of the Bilingual Education ActóTitle VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This act was designed to provide equitable educational opportunities for elementary and secondary students whose first languages are other than English and who have limited English proficiency.
