There's a lot of things that show there's land out there, there's another country. But who was the first person to decide to go up and go over? Yeah, Columbus was the first person. Let's have someone read that again, that same thing. Did everybody read? No, no. What a crisis, what? No. No, no, no. No, I think it's Hamster. Go ahead.

If there's some of these tree trucks floating in the water, what do they think? They think there was land out there? Yes, no.

Well, they're not going to know unless they go. Okay, finish up, please. But nobody did anything about it. At least as far as the recall, you call your show into Columbus Head. Okay, so Columbus is the first man to have the idea to go out and find this land that people are talking about. People think they might be out there. At least we're going to go out and see. I think we're going to study these words. What's going on? What? Yes, I think we'll have a test next week. Tomorrow. We'll just study them. What I want you to do is use these words. Put them on a big old sheet, first of all. Okay, and we'll start like that. Okay, I would like to do an audio check. Just say your name and count the ten. Russell Goff, one, two, three, four, five. Okay, thank you. Okay.

Mr. Goff, my questions are going to be in the final piece. So if you try to make your statements complete sentences and try to incorporate the questioning to the answer. Okay. So what colors this guy, instead of just saying blue, say this guy is blue. Okay. Okay. Can you talk a little bit about what the main purpose of the Title VII filing book program is and how it works? I think there's several purposes of the Title VII program. Let me just speak of a couple of them, I think, real briefly.

I think, first of all, we want to provide those non-English students with language program so they can begin to function in the school. Secondly, is to take those students that have limited English skills and provide them with skills of understanding of reading and writing. So they can function in the regular content areas. A number of other areas of working also with the content teachers so that students go into the regular classroom that they can be successful and that they're able to function in a regular classroom. Now, we have the ESL program, which is your language program. We also have an ELD program, which is your pre-teaching model in social studies and in science. And what we're trying to do here is to provide those students with science, pre-teaching skills in science and social studies so that they will be ready to go in and then to the regular classroom and be successful. Okay, now, explain to us what ESL stands for and is ESL different from the Title VII program or those two different programs or the same? Basically, this ESL is English as a second language. ELD is a language development program. This is all part of the Title VII bilingual program.

Okay. Now, is the Title VII bilingual program a transitional bilingual program? Meaning is the main objective to gain proficiency in English or to use the native language in conjunction with English? Well, we would like to use a dual language approach so that these students will be able to function. Now, we want to provide the language, but we also want to teach them also in their own language if possible. So if they're able to function, then learn the language quicker as they move in the regular classroom. So, is proficiency in the native language taught in conjunction with learning English? In other words, are they taught their native language how to read and how to write and correct grammar in conjunction with learning English? Well, it's difficult in some cases. For example, we have a number of Southeast Asian students and we do not necessarily have the personnel that have lay ocean or Cambodian or Vietnamese language. So we try to provide the second language techniques so that they can be successful as they go in, provide them with that language, the language background so they can move on into regular classroom and be able to function and be successful and go on and provide them with that education.

With the necessary skills. When how long does that take? When a student first comes in, when they first moved to Albuquerque, they enter school and perhaps they have very, very limited understanding of English. How many years does it usually take to mainstream now? Well, some were able to mainstream right away. The previous school I was at, I had a large number of students from Mexico. And the first group of students that came over had, in many ways, exceeded their education, had exceeded many of the students we had at the school at that time. And they're able to mainstream very quickly. One of the young men that you talked to this morning, for example, has only been in United States just a couple years. And so his movement into the mainstream is a little slower than others.

You have some students who have never been in school for seven or eight years. And as a result, they come here and this may be their first or second year formal education. And their language, obviously, can be a slow process for some. But it's kind of, I don't know if there's any set number of years. Some might be able to move quicker than others. How do you, as an administrator, measure the success or failure of a program like this? Well, students are tested regularly so that we can find out where they are. We also have some grouping situations where we can measure how what progress they've made. This year in the Title VII program, they're going to use a CTBS for the first time so that we can get a little bit more measurement as to where they actually are. Okay. Now, you have to tell me that again, explain what those initials are.

Okay. All right. This year, we're going to be using the CTBS, which is a California test of basic skills. All eighth grade students in the state of New Mexico take the California test of basic skills at the...
