Welcome to the Newcomer Database for Secondary School Programs. This is a searchable database that includes more than 100 programs in 29 states and the District of Columbia that either participated in the research study, "Newcomers: Language and Academic Programs for Recent Immigrants," during the 1996-2000 school years or submitted profile since then. (Program Contacts: See updating procedures below.) This database is a product of the program of research conducted by the Center for Research on Education, Diversity & Excellence (CREDE), funded by the National Institute for the Education of At Risk Students, the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (now the Institute of Education Sciences), the U.S. Department of Education. The study was conducted by Deborah Short and Beverly Boyson at the Center for Applied Linguistics. |

Search Tips: |
|
| |
| |
- Browse All Programs: Click the search button without specifying any search criteria to see all of the programs in the database if you are not looking for any particular type of program.
- Browse Types of Programs: Choose specific terms in the drop down menus from any number of the categories listed for your search. The order of the terms is not important. Only records that have all of the selected search terms will be found. Each additional feature will restrict the number of newcomer programs shown.
- Example 1: Select School level = middle school. All middle school programs in the database will be selected and can be browsed.
- Example 2: Select School level = high school, State = Iowa, and Length of daily program = full day. Only the program(s) that match all three features will be found. Records that have only one or two but not all three of the terms will not be found.
- Too many results: If your search yields too many results, you may wish to add more categories to restrict it.
- Too few results: If your search does not find enough programs, you should select fewer categories.
