PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

We provide students with the interactive web-based software Compass Learning Odyssey (CLO) from CompassLearning.com. Odyssey’s curriculum is aligned to the Washington’s Academic Learning Standards and Requirements. We provide laptop and internet connection free of cost to every student.

The highlight of our program for children who are performing significantly below grade level is that the students can work at their own pace, listening to directions as many times as they require. We also execute summer programs to enable such students recover skills and credit while progressing at their own pace.

The instructional approach behind designing the software is direct instruction and scaffolded learning. Students are not introduced to higher concepts until they master the basic fundamentals of a concept. Media rich content and flash based activities help keep the learner engaged while grasping important concepts. The program is based on credited and widely accepted scientific research and follows the recommendations of the National Reading Panel and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

We offer tutor intervention to help the student understand the concepts and clarify doubts. We hire tutors who have had previous experience in working with ELL students and students with disabilities. We have bilingual tutors that can tutor in both Spanish and English.

Since the program is offered online, no transportation is required and our services can be availed of by the student in the comfort of his or her home. Each student is provided a user name and password to access our program 24 x7. Our bi-weekly progress reporting and weekly phone-based communication with parents/guardians, school and district staff helps keep them updated on their child’s progress.

CLO can provide assistive support to develop reading, speaking, listening, and vocabulary skills in ten languages: Spanish, Vietnamese, Haitian/Creole, Hmong, Mandarin, Russian, Arabic, Korean, Japanese, and Portuguese. 24hourstutoring Inc.

Aligned to the state mathematics curriculum, our program reinforces classroom learning and helps students retain what is taught in a 1:1 tutor: student ratio. Students go online for 3-4 one hour sessions per week. Since we are online there are not the usual time and transportation barriers found with traditional tutoring. Students work from their home whenever it is convenient for them via the internet using the laptop that we provide for program use. Regardless of a district’s Per Pupil Allocation (PPA), we will provide a minimum of 30 hours of tutoring to students with no additional cost to parents or school districts. If agreed to by the school district, we will allow students to have unlimited access to our learning platform even after the funding has been spent. Students can tutor until the end of the school year at no cost to parents/school district.

The process starts with students taking a curriculum-based assessment at their grade level to identify their strengths and challenges. Based on the results of the assessment, an Individual Learning Plan is created specifically for that student. Students using our platform experience an average 15 point increase in pre and post-testing. 83% of our students reported that their math grades went up in school.

Students enrolled in the CES program are tutored in their own homes, according to their personal schedules. Parent input is sought and respected. Tutors regularly bring parents into the learning process and appreciate their insight. CES tutors are encouraged to report to parents their assessment results and progress during each visit.

Instruction is based on the immediate needs facing each student as diagnosed in the initial assessment and subsequent screens. Our tutors engage, empower and motivate students towards grade level proficiency. There is communication with classroom teachers to make sure each student is receiving the maximum benefits from their tutoring time. This kind of student-centered instruction guarantees the most progress that each student is capable of making; considering where they start and their own abilities.

CES welcomes students who are English Language learners, special education students, and those students far below grade level. Our teachers are bilingual and hand selected to reflect the cultural diversity of the students we serve.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

At Eduwizards all online tutoring is one-to-one and can be conveniently taken from student’s home. We provide free computers to students who don’t have one and also pay the internet bill. Tutoring takes place using our virtual classroom, which includes white board, text, and voice chat. Along with instruction, continuous online assessments are conducted to map student progress and identify areas of strength and weakness. Our research and data indicates that this combination of tutoring and assessment gives students a higher jump in performance.

The classroom size is one student and one instructor which allows for maximum concentration, focus, and attention. The tutor can take individual care and pay attention to the student’s need. All our sessions are recorded online and available for later viewing by students, parents and tutors.

Eduwizards curriculum is fully aligned to state specific benchmarks. Curriculum materials, including individual lessons developed by experienced educators, are already part of our curriculum library, and can be uploaded into the tutoring session virtual classroom.

To carefully monitor student progress we have devised a two-education-experts per student system (one being the tutor and the other the tutor-coordinator). These experts continually monitor student progress.

Our tutors are USA-based and most of them are state certified, with a Master’s degree or higher. We have an open review system where after each online session the student has an option to review the tutor. This helps Eduwizards to openly identify and retain only the best online tutors. We offer bilingual tutors who focus on state-specific standards. Regular studies conducted using pre-assessment and post-assessment show marked improvement in the performance of our students.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Children are the most precious resource a nation can have. The future depends on the kinds of children we raise. At a time when the global economy has created financial insecurity, and at a time when jobs are scarce, and time is virtually non-existent, the quality of a child?s education may not take foremost importance. Evergreen Human Development Academy wants to assist the wonderful parents and teachers who are educating and raising children with more and more limited resources. We want to build a bridge between the students and teachers, between teachers and parents, between parents and children, by creating a virtual database of each child?s character, strengths, behavior, personality etc--- thereby creating comprehensive info about the child, which can help in devising a program that will develop a well rounded student. This will create a net for each child so he/she does not fall through the cracks.

We supplement the curriculum at school by ensuring the homework is completed and also by augmenting the study materials to help him/ her have a deeper understanding of the subject matter they are learning about. We use effective studying methods that help the children excel in school and later on in life. We research methods that have been used before to turn out high performing students. We use the same tactics to engage the children in activities that will help him/ her meet the potential inside.

Our whole effort is to create a fun, learning environment, where we produce children who develop life skills that will help them have a high performance in life. To achieve this, and to raise children who will grow up to fulfill high ideals of excellence and integrity. we partner with the schools and the parents. Extraordinary Environmental Institute

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

It is the belief of the Extraordinary Environmental Institute (EEI) that all children can learn if given the individualized instruction, time and attention each needs to be successful. We also believe that children reflect their homes, communities and cultures. Our educational program will reflect the uniqueness of each individual, celebrating their backgrounds, gifts and contributions.

Research shows that pre-teaching subject matter which the students are likely to encounter builds confidence, improves understanding and performance. Our model will be based on this research. Instructional programs will be provided during summer vacation, school breaks and before new units are introduced during the school year.

Certificated teachers will work one-on-one to address the individual learning needs to each student, communicating with the school and complimenting the efforts of the classroom’s instructional program and curriculum.

Children who struggle need more time on-task. Many need a longer learning day, but with a different approach to learning than is used in the classroom. In addition to individual tutoring, small group learning strategies will be employed that make learning fun, while reinforcing essential learning.

Relationships matter. All students need to know that they are valued and respected. They need to know that others have high expectations of them, and hopes that they will accomplish great things in their lives. For this reason, we place our Supplemental Educational Services in the community in which they are a part. By partnering with churches, Boys and Girls Clubs and community centers, we can work together to provide the wrap-around support that children need to be successful. Through contacts with mentors who use reading, science and math in their every day work, students will develop an understanding of the importance of these subjects for their everyday lives.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Mathnasium is a learning center where kids go after school to boost their math skills. We are highly specialized; we only teach math. Our program is for kids in grades 1 through 12. Students attend once or twice a week, for about an hour. Our goal is to significantly increase a child’s math skills, understanding of math concepts, and overall school performance, while building confidence and forging a positive attitude toward the subject.

The Mathnasium Method uses a unique combination of mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written techniques to help children learn math.

MENTAL

Students are taught how and when to use mental math techniques. This enables them to dispense with needless paper–and–pencil work and focus on the task at hand.

Example:

99 + 99 + 99 =

Instead of setting this problem as a vertical addition problem, students are taught to think, “100 + 100 + 100 –

3 = 300 – 3 = 297.”

VERBAL

Language is used as an integral part of the program. Students are taught the meaning of root words in the mathematics context. Students are also taught how to explain their thought process and reasoning verbally.

VISUAL

Meaningful pictures, charts, and tables are used to explain ideas and concepts. Many of the problems in the workbooks are “pictured–based,” providing students with insights into problems that transcend the written words.
