| Summary: | A description and evaluation of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII-funded Bilingual/Bicultural Education Program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is provided in this report. A developmental system of bilingual education enabled kindergarten through twelfth grade pupils to learn all subject content in both English and Spanish in the context of Hispanic culture. The bilingual/bicultural teaching and supervisory staff developed curricula to implement program goals aimed at educating students to feel at home in both the English and Spanish language and the American and Hispanic cultures. When Bilingual Project participants were compared with national norms and Title I or Spanish-surnamed comparison groups, standardized test results demonstrated that the goal of grade level progress was achieved at kindergarten, lower and upper primary levels in readiness, English reading, and mathematics. Equivalent progress was not demonstrated at middle primary grades, but at the upper primary level, Bilingual Program achievement exceeded that of the Title I reading and mathematics programs.
