Memo from Maria Brisk to SED Librarians and Staff, Boston University, asking them to give members of the research team access to materials they need in the course of the evaluation.

Description of Boston's School District VI along with descriptions of bilingual program, students and curriculum of specific schools. This seems to have been produced as part of the 'Complementary Studies' programme after September 1979 - this is a photocopy of the report and has been annotated in a few places by a member of the CARE team.
Draft structure of the 'Complementary Studies' part of the evaluation, additional to the work at Rafael Hernandez School. It outlines what to be covered at the two elementary, two middle and one high school in District VI, Boston
Short paper on "Who are the Hispanic-Americans?” which discusses the meanings and history of the term 'Hispanic' along with other descriptors. Undated and no attribution though hand-annotated 'Marepita? Solva' by one of the CARE team.
Brochure on the Bilingual Resource and Training Centre at Boston University (funded under Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act) setting out its role and listing staff. Undated, but as Maria Brisk is shown as the Director it probably dates between 1978 and 1981.
Milieu' Magazine, Volume 1(2), Summer 1979, published by the Bilingual Resource and Training Center at Boston University and containing news about events, course, publications and programmes.
Graduate seminar paper for the Boston University course, SE523: Language and Communication Disorders. The teacher, Dr. Al Murphy, has annotated it: “This is outstanding. Too much to comment on. Let's set up a meeting to discuss it.”
Handwritten notes of observation of classroom activities at Rafael Hernandez by Michele Sola and given to Clem Adelman. It combines observations and short excerpts of classroom discourse, with a focus on several main themes: language use, discipline, bicultural evidence etc.
Draft report edited by Rob Walker in Australia during August 1980, subtitled '**Strictly Confidential to Staff at Rafael Hernandez School** Not for Use or Distribution' and 'marked 'Verging on 4' and 'Rewrite 29 Aug' (handwritten). It includes the 'First Impressions', 'The Organisation of the School' and 'A Day with the Principal' sections as well as classroom observations and extracts from interviews.
Some first impressions at Rafael Hernandez School, dated 16.09.79, typescript, then highly annotated. Based on his fieldwork and observations at Rafael Hernandez School in late October 1979, these evolved into his sections, "First Impressions", "The Organisation of the School" and "A Day with the Principal" and reappear in the interim and final reports.
