These services will be offered to students selected based on assessment data. Teachers and Paraeducators will be trained to target the specific needs of each student using the learning platforms and curriculum provided.

Why?

The intent of these programs is to focus both on short-term literacy gaps and/or academic gaps stemming from a variety of reasons. 

 

Perhaps students are newcomers, in homes with limited English, lacking support, performing poorly on standardized testing, lacking complex concepts, experiencing low self esteem, missing school, exhibiting poor study habits, challenged in specific content areas, diagnosed with learning challenges or simply in need of the one on one attention to give them an extra boost. 

 

Arly believed, and the AKEF supports her belief that personalized attention and extra individualized support makes a difference. Tutoring provides a meaningful connection with an adult and customizes the learning environment to help improve academic performance, work and study habits as well as nourishing confidence over the long-term. Tutoring also provides many families with the support they need at home. 

 

The goal is to narrow the gaps and bring the students minimally up to grade level. Our tutoring experiences have demonstrated the positive impact of preparing learners for the college application process and it has led to college acceptance.
