Theprogram served 218 sttidents in 5 intermediate and junior high schools and 2 elementary schools in the Bronx (New York). Most students were classified as limited English proficient; some English-proficient and special-education students were also served. Instruction was offered in Spanish native language arts (NLA), ESL, and music and music theory. Students participated in choral performances or in a percussion and dance group. Groups performed at a variety of multicultural activities throughout the school year. Strff development and parental involvement activities were also offered. Evaluation of the program found it met its objectives in NLA, ESL, music theory, English and Spanish oral lang.iage proficiency gains, and participation in cultural and educational events. It partially met objectives for staff development and parental involvement. Recommendations for program improvement include: exploration of ways to document student achievement more fully; holding the required number of training sessions for teachers; and increased effort to interest parents in attending workshops. Staff information, scheduling information, performance calendar, school newspaper article, and list of instructional materials and songs are appended.

The project was funded by New York State Bilingual Categorical Funds for the fourth year. Los Cumbancheros served 218 students from five intermediate and junior high schools and two elementary schools in four community school districts in the Bronx. Most of the students were classified as limited English proficient, although some English proficient students, as well as a few who were certified for special education, were also served. Spanish Naiive Ltnguage Arts (N.L.A.) and English as a Second Language (E.S.L.) instruction was offered in music and music theory. Students participated in choral performances or in a percussion or dance group. Performing groups participated at a variety of multicultural activities throughout the school year. Los Cumbancheros also provided staff development and parental involvement activities. The project was successful in meeting its objectives for E.S.L. and N.L.A. music theory, English and Spanish oral language proficiency, and cultural/educational events.It partially met its objectives for staff development and parental involvement. Based on the findings of this evaluation, OREA makes the following recommendations to the project: Explore ways to document student achievement more fully. Hold the required number of training sessions for teachers. Attempt to interest parents in attending workshops, possibly by selecting topics based on a needs assessment. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was prepared by the Bilingual,Multicultural, and Early Childhood Evaluation unit Qf the Office of Research, Evaluation, andAssessment.

INTRODUCTION Reinforcing E.S.L. with Los CumbancherosChoral Performance Group (Los Cumbancherosy provided music instruction in Spanish and Englishto Latino elementary and intermediate school students in the Bronx. Los Cumbancheros aimedto teach music theory, improve participants' oral proficiency in both English and Spanish, provideregular staff development for bilingual and E.S.L. teachers, and involve parents while engagingstudents in an exciting program of public performances. Originally basedon a choral performance group, Los Cumbancheros added a percussion component and decorative arts (inone school) in order to provide activities for non-singers. The projectwas funded by New York State Bilingual Categorical funds for the fourth year. P.ARTICIPATIlicanIDEEM Two hundred eighteen students participated in the project. Staff completed data forms for 169 of them. Of these, one hundred forty-seven (87.0 percent)were Spanish- speaking students of limited English proficiency (LEP); 22 were English proficient (EP); and some were certified to receive special education services. Of the seven participating schools, five were intermediate schools and two were elementary schools. More than 94.4 percent of the participants were born outside the United States. Many were from low-income families. The pre-program academic performance of many students was well below grade level, and some were at risk of dropping out of school. STAFF QUALIFICATIONS The project staff were all bilingual. The project director, who also taught music, had a master's degree in education and extensive experience in both bilingual education and music instruction. Another music teacher,a pianist, had a master's degree in administration and supervision. Two of the three music consultants were percussionists, and the thirdwas the group's musii-arranger. One had a bachelor's degree in music, the otherwas a high school graduate who had attended music school, and the third consultant hada degree in applied science. The paraprofessional, a high school graduate, was a bassist.(See Appendix A for a complete list of project staff and their qualifications.)

  • Skyscrapers and District Heating, an Inter-Related History 1876-1933
    Skyscrapers and District Heating, an inter-related History 1876-1933. Introduction: The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between a new urban and architectural form, the skyscraper, and an equally new urban infrastructure, district heating, both of witch were born in the north-east United States during the late nineteenth century and then developed in tandem through the 1920s and 1930s. These developments will then be compared with those in Europe, where the context was comparatively conservative as regards such innovations, which virtually never occurred together there. I will argue that, the finest example in Europe of skyscrapers and district heating planned together, at Villeurbanne near Lyons, is shown to be the direct consequence of American influence. Whilst central heating had appeared in the United Kingdom in the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, district heating, which developed the same concept at an urban scale, was realized in Lockport (on the Erie Canal, in New York State) in the 1880s. In United States were born the two important scientists in the fields of heating and energy, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and Benjamin Thompson Rumford (1753-1814). Standard radiators and boilers - heating surfaces which could be connected to central or district heating - were also first patented in the United States in the late 1850s.1 A district heating system produces energy in a boiler plant - steam or high-pressure hot water - with pumps delivering the heated fluid to distant buildings, sometimes a few kilometers away. Heat is therefore used just as in other urban networks, such as those for gas and electricity.

  • The Recommended Reading Lists of Alfred Lawrence Kocher and the Beauty of Utility in 1920S America
    2020 volume 17 | issue 1 In Search of a Cultural Background: The Recommended Reading Lists of Alfred Lawrence Kocher and the Beauty of Utility in 1920s America Mario Canato Abstract The modernist architect and critic, Alfred Lawrence Kocher, proposed and commented on many bibliographical ref- erences in the Architectural Record in the years 1924-25. Recent studies on American architecture of the 1920s and 1930s have recognized the peculiar character of modernism in the United States and have gone in search of its cultural and social roots. However, Kocher’s extensive lists have so far been completely overlooked. They were based for the most part on the correspondence he exchanged with a number of American and British architects and George Bernard Shaw: he had sent to them a circular letter, asking for recommendations on texts on background literature that a young architect should know. The unpublished correspondence that Kocher had with Louis Sullivan and the 19 texts on “Aesthetics and Theory of Architecture” are analyzed in particular by the author. Although from 1927 onwards Kocher became a passionate supporter of European rationalist architecture, his bibli- ographies cannot be considered a conscious foundational literature on modernism and modernity. They rather give an idea of the ‘cultural trunk’ on which the discussion on modern European architecture was going to be grafted; they help to illuminate the scene on which American architects moved in the mid-1920s. In some of the texts, the pragmatic notion of utility shines through, as − sometimes connectedly − does the concept of a creative act as a free, ‘natural’ act, which derived from American transcendentalism.

  • AMERICAN RADIATOR BUILDING (Now American Standard Building) Excluding the Five­ Story Extension, 40 Nest 40Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 12, 1974, Number 7 LP-0878 AMERICAN RADIATOR BUILDING (now American Standard Building) excluding the five­ story extension, 40 Nest 40th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1923-24.; architect Raymond M. Hood. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 841, Lot 71 in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On October 8, 1974, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hear­ ing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the American Radiator Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions. of law. One witness spoke in favor of designation. The representative of the owner spoke in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The American Radiator Building, a striking twenty-.three story black and gold tower, is one of the finest and most significant skyscrapers in Manhattan. Design­ ed by Raymond M. Hood and built in 1923-24, the American Radiator Building initiated a new trend in skyscraper design in New York City with its bold cubic massing of .forms--often associated with the Art Deco style--and.. its .. freedorn from the Beaux-Arts classical details that had previously encumbered New York City skyscrapers. In the period following World War I, architects continued to use classical details and principles of proportion for their skyscraper designs, although these were often ill-adapted to high buildings. Hood's design. broke with tradition and utilized new forms. Raymond Mathewson Hood (1881-1934), who had received architectural training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, worked for the firm of Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson--noted for its neo-Gothic architectural designs--in 1906.
