Staff Development for Pedagogues in Bilingual Math and Science provided two thematically-based workshops to 40 New York City science teachers who taught students of limited English proficiency (LEP) citywide. Workshops emphasized successful teaching strategies as well as psychological aspects involved in teaching LEP students. The project also provided research articles and monographs about the latest techniques in teaching science. Analysis of participants’ responses to a questionnaire found that almost all respondents were highly satisfied with all aspects of the workshops: content, mode of preservation, and materials used. In addition, although the required data were unavailable, it appeared that the students of participating teachers performed as well as similar students citywide on the Regents Competency Tests (RCTs) in science. The project met its objectives for staff satisfaction with workshops and documentation of strategies learned. It was impossible to evaluate fully the objective for RCT in science passing rate, but the project came very close to meeting that part of the objective for which data were available. The conclusions, based on the findings of the evaluation, led to the recommendation that a compilation of the materials developed should be made available and distributed to other science teachers of LEP students.
