Tutoring Services / Supplemental Educational Services Providers
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) include summer and before- and after-school tutoring in reading, language arts, or math. They may be offered through public- or private-sector providers who are approved by the state, such as public schools, public charter schools, local education agencies (local school systems, herein referred to as LEAs), educational service agencies, faith-based organizations, and community groups.
Students from low-income families who remain in Title I schools that fail to meet AYP for at least three years, and are thus in the second year of Needs Improvement status, are eligible to receive SES.

Program Summary
The Director of Get Smart Consulting has over 24 years as an educator providing instructional strategies to improve the academic success of students. The program will utilize these proven strategies to encourage these same results in our students. We promote the incorporation of hands-on experiences and instruct tutors on using a Learning-Focused approach which utilizes graphic organizers, daily assessments, and writing to promote comprehension. This approach has proven highly effective with varying at-potential populations. Materials used will include workbooks correlated to Georgia Standards and additional resource materials which allow for adequate practice of skills. Get Smart Consulting's program is flexible and accessible to meet the needs of parents. Services are provided at school, in community locations, and in-home as approved by the director. Tutoring may be held between the hours of 3:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. weekdays and up to 3 hours on weekends. Tutoring may be conducted 2-3 days per week. Transportation is provided for select locations. Get Smart Consulting will work with the parent/school to ensure that the instructional goals set are in-line with areas of concern. Interviews will be conducted with parents prior to service; available school documentation will be reviewed, and pre-testing results will be analyzed. On-going benchmark testing will be utilized to determine retention of instruction and the need for re-teaching. Although Get Smart Consulting had provided SES services for one year, It is important to note that our Director has worked with other companies and LEA's providing services for 8 years.

Program Summary
Learning Solutions, has been serving students in the Atlanta area for 19 years. The longevity, the return of students, and the improvement of academics demonstrate the effectiveness of the tutorial program. The UGA/DOE 2007-2008 survey analyzed the test scores of students served by Learning Solutions and showed that in math, more than fifty percent of the Learning Solutions SES students scored higher on the State CRCT than the comparison group. The Survey showed that in reading, a greater percentage of Learning Solutions SES students moved to a higher performance level on the State CRCT than the comparison group. Tutorial sessions are 1.5 hours (bi-weekly) with choices of days and times (Monday-Thursday, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. / Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.). Flexibility is necessary. Parents who are the sole source of transportation often have schedules that create hardships. These schedules must be addressed. The instruction at Learning Solutions is based on the results of a reading/L.A. and math Basic Skills Inventory given to each student and the review of each student's CRCT. Using this information, the student is prescribed an individualized curriculum with goals set to improve weak areas as shown on the BSI and CRCT. The curriculum is designed to improve grades, CRCT scores, and aligns with GPS. An integrated approach is used in reading, to address word analysis, vocabulary, comprehension and study skills. The math curriculum utilizes a balanced mathematics approach where basic knowledge, operational skills, and the ability to make application are equally fostered. The curriculum is computer based and monitored by teachers with advanced degrees who are continually helping the students (5:1 ratio). Learning Solutions is located in a quiet, accessible plaza. There are 18 computer stations and 5 work stations. All instructional materials are provided. Learning Solutions has been a Georgia SES provider for seven years.

Program Summary
We believe if a child attends our program regularly, we can help them. We have over 35 years of tutoring experience and our program is designed with the highest regard for helping struggling learners. We tutor students in Kindergarten through 8th grade in reading and math. Our professionally trained tutors, most of whom are certified teachers from the local school and community, are trained to ensure that our students are always supervised. Our program is housed mainly in the local schools with local teachers, paraprofessionals and qualified staff hired to do the tutoring. Our classes are held two days a week for 60 to 90 minutes each day, and we tutor in small and large groups. A key component of our program is the goal setting conference which allows all parties; our staff, parents and the school personnel to participate following an examination of standardized test scores, other school information, or diagnostic pre-test, if needed. With this information we develop a Student Learning Plan with specific goals and individualized curriculum for the student. To ensure scope and sequence of skills taught through tutoring, our curriculum is aligned with the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), the child's classroom curriculum, and the master plan of each School District we serve, while employing a variety of research-based strategies. Our program emphasizes 5 Reading strands and 5 Math strands. Frequent assessment and reporting progress are key components of effective teaching and we present a progress report monthly to parents, teacher and school districts. Our company administers a post test (Achieve) to determine student growth and curriculum strengths and weaknesses. We take pride and count it a privilege to provide supplemental services in Reading and Math to the students in the State of Georgia.

Program Summary
A to Z In-Home Tutoring provides in person, one-on-one instruction in the comfort and convenience of a student’s home or in small groups of 3-6 students at school or alternate location. Our tutors work with children in Reading, Language Arts and Math. As one of the largest national providers of No Child Left Behind tutoring for the past seven years, we are very experienced, yet have a personalized local approach, as we have operated in Georgia since 2004. In 2006-2007, students enrolled with A to Z experienced an average gain of 4 newly acquired math and language arts skills. All of our curriculum content is research-based and focuses on helping struggling students succeed. Students are pre-tested to identify which skill sets they are deficient in so tutoring services are 100% custom tailored and individualized for the needs of the client. Periodic mini-assessments are used to monitor the student’s growth. During the final session a post-test is given to measure the overall gains of the child and the new academic skills they have achieved. Through traditional one-on-one and small group tutoring, students are able to reach and exceed their educational goals much more quickly and effectively. Strong teaching backgrounds and a comprehensive understanding of children’s needs enables these qualified tutors to develop learning skills, polish self-esteem, boost confidence and enhance motivation. The student’s family and tutor determine the tutoring schedule. Days and times of tutoring are coordinated between the parents, tutor, and/or school personnel with sessions ranging from 1-2 times per week and lasting between 1-2 hours each session.

Program Summary
A.Z. Kelsey Academy will provide supplemental services in the areas of reading and math to middle school students. Housed in a former middle school facility, A.Z. Kelsey Academy will serve as the primary site with other school sites identified throughout the system. Both external and internal providers have offered supplemental services in the Grifin-Spalding County School System for over five years. The effectiveness of the supplemental services delivery model is evident through the academic achievement of middle school students enrolled at Kennedy Road Middle School (KRMS). After seven years of being in needs improvement, at the end of the 2005-2006 school year, KRMS, formerly A.Z. Kelsey Middle School, was the only middle school in the system that made AYP. Students at the school, especially subgroups, demonstrated remarkable improvement in key content areas. The school has maintained AYP status for the past two years and consequently, has come off the state's Needs Improvement listing. This proposal calls for supplemental services to be delivered in two ways: tutorial sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for 90 minutes a day (from 3:30 - 5:00) and Saturday morning tutorials for 3.5 hours lasting from 8:30 - 12:00 with a 30 minute break. An additional hour will be added to each day for teachers to allow time for data analysis and planning. The models of instruction included in this proposal are READ 180 for reading support and ALEKS for math support. Both programs are supported by empirical research, closely align with state and national standards, and include comprehensive on-going assessment components. A.Z. Kelsey Academy and all other sites utilized in delivery of supplemental services have fully equipped computer labs for use during individualized instructional support. A.Z. Kelsey Academy has no prior years of service as a Georgia SES provider.

Program Summary
ABOUTFACE! Reading has been teaching reading to students throughout the Southeast for 11 years and has been an SES Provider in Georgia for four years. Our reading lessons are designed using the five scientifically-based strategies recommended by the National Reading Panel to increase reading skills. Every student is pre-tested to determine their unique needs and an Individualized Learning Plan is developed with teacher and parent input. Then, leveled books are chosen that reflect each student's current reading abilities. As students' mastery increases, additional tests pinpoint remaining skill gaps. Learning Plans are then updated to fill those gaps. Finally, post-tests are administered to gauge student improvement. Each child receives approximately 20 hours of tutoring, usually 1 hour sessions, twice weekly. All of our pupils will move to the next reading level or higher. Every child keeps every book they read. Lessons are held in LEA's, churches, libraries or other public area. We provide all materials including scripted lesson plans, books, word cards, and any other materials needed for the course of instruction.

Our company consists of four staff with degrees in education and three staff with extensive managerial experience. Our approach for instruction includes direct hands-on to students in-home, one-one-one and small groups. Our small group is one teacher for every eight students. Sessions are held in schools, community center, libraries and places of worship. As part of our program, each student will complete a pre and post assessment test. The process for assessing and diagnosing student need will be addressed through a pre assessment test along with school test scores and teacher/school input. This will determine the appropriate individualized student plan (ISP). Once an ISP has been developed, each student will receive one to two hour sessions once or twice a week to for a minimum of 20 hours. Our program uses researched based Ladders to Success- Reading and Mathematics and Coach Materials which are 100% aligned with Georgia’s state curriculum. Using a curriculum that is 100% aligned with state standards has been shown to improve student achievement. These materials are designed to provide intervention to individual student needs through scaffolding lesson. Scaffolding lessons build basic skills that prepare students for state assessments and are tailored to each student’s ISP. The student will be tested halfway through the program to determine if he/she is mastering the skill. The tutor will collaborate with the parent/guardian and student’s teacher to develop a new ISP if the scores suggest it. At the completion of the tutoring session a post test is given to determine if the student has mastered the skill and improved his/her overall score. A final progress report will be sent to parent/guardian and school.

Program Summary
Alpha Test Prep's use of Differential Instruction allows us to meet the diverse educational needs of the students we serve. We use Direct Instruction, Previewing, Acceleration, Graphic Organizers, and Hands on Instruction as a few of the instructional methods to reach our students.
We incorporate the use of CRCT sub-score results, provider administered pre-test, classroom teacher conferencing, and parent/guardian input to develop student assessment profiles. From these profiles we develop Individual Student Instructional Plans for each student. ATP's effectiveness was demonstrated in the 2007-2008 school year when 100% of our students passed the CRCT.
ATP's sessions last from 45 minutes to one hour and fifteen minutes. The sessions are structured to maximize the funding each student is alloted for tutoring.
We are not tecnology based. We do however, use computers for remediation, assessing GPS aligned internet material, and test prep. All instructional material employed by ATP is GPS aligned and NCLB compliant.

Program Summary
Alternatives Unlimited (AU) has been an approved vendor in several states over the past five years. According to collected qualitative data, students demonstrated a more serious approach to engaging in classroom activities and showed confidence in taking standardized tests. Parents expressed satisfaction with their children's progress and the overall delivery of instruction. Our focus has been to assist students to improve academic achievement on state standards. Our model of instruction includes small group instruction that is focused on pre-testing of all students. The optimal AU time on task for our tutoring session will last two hours per day and takes place two days per week. AU does understand, however, that a two hour session may prove to grueling for the younger learners; therefore, AU is prepared to modify delivery with shorter sessions that meet more often during the week. Our class size is typically 1:5 or specifically 1:1 for special populations. Usually all tutoring takes place at the school site if space permits. Provided instructional materials include paper, pencil, rulers, technology and others when applicable.
Goals are written based on pre-test, parent, school and LEA documentation of student data. According to collected qualitative and quantitative data, targeted students demonstrated academic growth on standardized tests. Parents receive weekly updates in either English or Spanish based on pretest assessments so that they understand the gains their child is making focused on the shared goals written at the start of the tutoring. All lessons taught to students include graphic organizers that are provided by the tutor. All supplies for students are also provided by the vendor so that students have a successful tutoring experience. AU is a new SES provider in Georgia.

Program Summary
August House uses highly engaging stories from around the world with colorful animations, entertaining read along files, carefully illustrated picture books and targeted practice assignments to build the specific reading skills each student needs to succeed on the CRCT. The self-paced program is aligned to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for grades K-5. It can be used individually or in a small group. The program and assignments are highly interactive and guide the students to practice exactly the skills that they need to master. Students will need to have internet access and are expected to use the program twice a week for one hour at home, at a library, a community center or other facility with an internet connection. Each student is assessed throughout the program and the results are used to build and Individual Student Profile (ISP) that identifies specific strengths and weaknesses matching the GPS. Progress is measured, tracked and reported to ensure that the student is practicing the specific reading skills that he or she needs to build. When students complete a story unit, they take the book home to build their own personal reading library. After completing the program, on average the students will improve their reading skills by 10% or more on standardized tests. No transportation required. This highly engaging instructional model was developed over four years of research and testing. As a result, the program targets emerging and struggling readers who need to develop stronger skills and confidence in phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency as defined by the Georgia Performance Standards.

Program Summary
Ava White Tutorials, Inc. has been helping students for 28 years. We have been involved with 3 school systems and 6 schools in the No Child Left Behind program since 2003. To date, we have assisted 5 of these 6 schools to make the Adequate Yearly Progress List. We have seen students in our after-school programs make significant gains in Reading, Math, and Language Arts. Many of our students advance 1-2 grade equivalents after the 30 hours of tutorials. To identify academic goals, each student is given a pre-test. Then we write an Individual Learning Plan, using the results of the testing, parent and teacher input. Students typically meet after school, at their school, with highly qualified, certified teachers who have valuable years of classroom experience. We see students in small groups, usually 3 to 6 pupils in these after school classes, and they meet 2 times a week for 1.5 hour sessions. Classes are typically held right after school, for example, 3:45 to 5:15. For students who meet at the school, transportation home is usually provided by the school or we pay for a taxi service to take the students home, after the tutorials. If parents prefer, we can see their child at our office for 1:1 tutorials and parents are then responsible for transportation. We use explicit, direct, incremental, systematic research-based instruction in teaching basic reading, language arts and math skills. Wilson Reading Program, LANGUAGE! and MATH*Ability are the main curriculums we use to help students reach their academic goals. All instructional materials are provided for the teachers and students. We do benchmark assessments throughout the program to ensure that students are making appropriate scholastic growth. Progress reports are sent home on a monthly basis, so that parents know how their child is making headway. We normally have 2 pizza parties during the 30-hour instructional period to reward attendance and celebrate student success.

Program Summary
As the Director and owner of BridgeHaven, in operation for fourteen years, I served on the Georgia Board for the International Dyslexic Association from 1998 to 2004, and I designed our program for students struggling, sometimes physiologically, with academics, especially in reading and writing. Our practice is to structure curriculum so that needs will be met and be the primary focus. Hence, we use programs that follow the instructional model of renowned researchers in the areas of learning disabilities and dyslexia (Samuel Orton-Anna Gillingham). The Lindamood-Bell (LMB) process and programs are our umbrella programs for both reading and math. Other programs reflect these methodologies including Megawords, Touchphonics (reading) and Mathline, On Cloud Nine (LMB), Math Their Way and Summer Skills Sharpener (math). The LMB program is research-based and developed for those with learning differences that might inhibit acquisition of skills in their classroom environment. The effectiveness of the program is proven in both pre and post- test scores and in teacher/parent feedback (both to us and on SES documents). When a child can read, all skills associated with reading can be done effectively and test scores will improve. Each session is one hour and usually offered two days a week. Students can be served individually or grouped in small groups. The instruction is multisensory to meet the learning styles of each student. Skills are assessed and program placement determined based on the Woodcock Reading Mastery, Key Math and CRCT scores. The objective-based curriculum is matched to each student’s specific needs. BridgeHaven can offer services at a student’s school or students may receive assistance at BridgeHaven. Al materials are supplied by BridgeHaven. Computers are available but are used as a support tool only. We have provided SES services since 2003-2004 with the common purpose of meeting each and every child where they are and to provide success.

Program Summary
Bright Sky Learning has provided highly-effective, research and evidence-based K-12 reading and math remedial instruction for 7 years (3 in GA SES) in a variety of urban and rural settings, with Title I, ELL, At-Risk, SWD, and Alternative Education students. The dynamic, multi-sensory program is based on locating gaps in student knowledge through pre-assessments and designed to bring students up to or above age/grade level while increasing metacognitive abilities, confidence and self-esteem. Parents/guardians receive an orientation and are continuously informed about their child's progress and ways they can encourage and help. Student Learning Plans with specific achievement goals are aligned with district instructional programs and for each student (based on IEPs and 504 plans), collaboratively developed from assessment, school, parent and student information, and designed to meet individual student needs, in accordance with Georgia DOE standards. The program utilizes embedded assessments to continually monitor progress and post-assessments to determine achievement attained. Delivery locations are in schools, faith-based organizations or community centers accessible to eligible schools. BSL complies with the ADA requirements by ensuring tutoring locations are accessible to SWD and have adequate safety procedures. The student to tutor ratio is 5:1 and the program runs approximately 25-30 hours. Afterschool tutoring sessions are 1 or 1.5 hours, 2 or 3 times per week, or 1 3-hour session on Saturday. Independent research of the reading program has shown students gained approximately 1.5 grade levels with 20+ hours of instruction and states: "tutoring made the largest impact on the lowest performing students - students at or below the bottom 25th percentile." For math our own research shows an average grade level increase of 1.25 with 15 hours of instruction. All curriculum materials are provided.

Program Summary
The initial instructional program was created to improve the Georgia High School Test scores. The program is designed to target students that are at risk to fail the math portion of the GHSGT. The students have been selected by GHSGT predictor test scores as well as Teacher recommendations. The program also has been able to improve scores for students that have already taken the test but need to re-test for graduation. The program is designed to prepare the students to meet or exceed standards on the GHSGT and to become more confident math students. The focus of the program is positive re-enforcement for students that are usually not model students and often have no student support system at home. We designed the program with the concept of mastery learning. Our summer tutorial services primarily targeted 11th grade students who failed the math or English/Language Arts portion of the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT); however, there were number of 12th grade students who also attended the program and as a result were able to earn their high school diploma and increased the overall graduation rate of the school. The Burke County High School's graduation went from 61% in 2008 to 71% in 2009. It was felt that the summer tutorial program, especially the mathematics section, greatly contributed to this increase. Prior to the summer tutorial only 68% of students passed the test the first time. After the summer program this number increased by 3 percentage points which can be considered significant. Of the students involved in the summer program, 89% passed the Mathematics re-take and 45% passed the English Language Arts portion at re-test.

Program Summary
Over the years, C2 has compiled statistics as to how many hours of instruction it takes to raise students from a given level of performance (as measured by our initial assessment using the California Achievement Test) to a desired level set in the program goals (worked out by parent and C2 center director). While most students come on average 2 times a week, that figure is flexible and depends on the amount of improvement required. Therefore, the 2 hour figure above is a typical program. However, each program, including number of sessions per week is tailored to the needs of each student. The 2 hour session is standard to allow for sufficient instruction and practice and to ensure a consistent schedule during the week so that we can ensure that students have guaranteed availability when they come to C2.

Program Summary
OUR FOCUS IS ON PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION Challenging Failure (CF) specializes in helping students. What makes us unique is that we understand that not everyone learns the same way or at the same rate. To make sure the student succeeds, we present concepts and skills in a way that each particular student understands them. This driving belief at CF is the basis for the unique approach we use. Our certified teachers are experts at using this approach. OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE We focus on the individual needs of each student. CF concentrates on finding and using the instructional approaches that work best for each individual student based on their personal strengths and weaknesses. Our certified teachers are experts in helping each student understand, use and master the core concepts required by the Georgia Standards. We determine where the problem is for each student and instruction targets those problems. We invite parents to attend and participate in the tutoring sessions so they can further help their child at home. We do not believe in student failure. When the student does not succeed despite regular attendance and participation, we believe the failure is ours. We work hard to find the approach that works best for each student. OUR SERVICES ARE COMPREHENSIVE Challenging Failure (CF) specializes in helping students with disabilities, students at-risk, and students served under ESOL programs to meet expectations. We provide small group instruction 1-2 times a week (up to 2 hours per session) with a 1:4 tutor-student ratio.

Program Summary
The Clarke County School District (CCSD) has been providing intense after school tutoring services for seven years. However this is the first time that CCSD has applied to be an SES provider. SES has been offered in Clarke County by outside providers for the last four years. Students that have participated in the district's afterschool tutorial programs, SES and others, have had a minimum of 5 to 10 point growth in reading or math state assessments scores. The structure of a CCSD SES tutoring session would include individualized plans tailored to the needs of each student developed by a certified teacher with 3 or more years of teaching experience. The sessions would include time for reteaching "hot standards" (those not mastered in previous assessments), as well as preteaching when possible. Instruction will be developed and modified to best meet the learning needs of each student. The tutoring session will include direct instruction (vocabulary development, skill teaching and practice, and computer intervention) using research-based materials and computer programs, such as Great Source, USA Test Prep, Walch Math, EXPRESS curriculum, Voyager Reading and Math, V-Math, and Fast ForWord, Renzulli, Successmaker, Math Moodle, Headsprout, and READ 180. These sessions would encompass meeting with students one to two days per week for 1.25-2 hours depending on the grade level. The sessions will be held in classrooms, computer labs, libraries, and in homes. Summaries of material covered in sessions will be maintained at the site-level and will be monitored by the site-based and district SES coordinators. Formative assessments (using the Scantron performance Series) will be given 2-3 times a year to help track students progress in the program and identify areas that need additional reinforcement. This assessment evaluates the student's scores and allows for identification of the domains/benchmarks where student needs academic support.

Program Summary
Custom One-on-One, or small group tutoring, (less than an 8:1), in the student’s home or pre-arranged facility. Progress occurs because of the Individualized nature of the program, while supplementing classroom work. Qualified tutors are “matched” to the student in Reading, Language Arts and/or Math. Parent insight, teacher feedback, school assessment scores, and initial pre-testing form a program blueprint, and tutoring progresses as subject mastery is achieved. Each student receives a custom Individual Student Plan & Academic Plan of Achievement and Goals, with teacher’s feedback requested to assist in preparing a program for each student. Daily Lessons are prepared for each student using Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), and regular Progress Reports are provided every 2 weeks. Using a final Post-test session, test data is compared to the initial Pre-test to determine improvement for each student. Tutoring sessions are traditionally twice per week, between 1.5-2 hours, followed by a Parent Consultation. On average, improvement is one letter grade after 3 months. Student achievement improvement has averaged over 25% in Reading; Language Arts; & Math for 4 consecutive years. 6 years proven results working with at-risk and Low-Income students under the "No Child Left Behind Act".

Funded in part by various children's service councils and the United Way, our programs and services have as their primary mission to help children and youth build the academic skills and the love of learning they need to succeed in school and in life. We are currently operating SES tutoring in 10 states. We have a strong history of documented test score improvement: latest (2008-9) pre- and post-test performance data indicate that students who attended our program improved reading and math skills by up to 40%, with students at greatest risk showing some of the largest gains. Participating schools also have reported better overall engagement in the learning process. Tutors meet with students at their school or nearby community location (religious or community center, library) or in the student's home. Learning plans focus on a specific set of goals, according to the report card received from the student's school and from our own evaluations. Individual learning styles are also taken into consideration, which also determine assignment to the student group best suited to match needs. Students receive personal attention and move at their own pace towards reaching their weekly and overall targets. Our own Steps to Success curricula covers all the major Reading and Math strands and engage students in fun, enriching and meaningful ways. Special accommodations are made for English Language Learners to help them come up to speed with the general school population. In an effort to help improve quality standards, we serve on Department of Education Advisory Panels in Tennessee and Florida. Cool Kids Learn has served Georgia students and their parents since school year 2006-7.

Program Summary
Education & Guidance Services (EGS) has been providing the supplementary educational needs of the students of West Central Georgia for sixteen years. We are a SACS/CASI accredited special-purpose school and have been providing tutorial support for the NCLB program from its very first day. More than fifty dedicated, certified educators make up our team. Teachers are available, by appointment only, seven days each week. As educators, we all enjoy the delight in watching young people rekindle their love of learning. Our success for all students utilizes the one-on-one expertise of the tutor, skill-appropriate written material – not computers – to strengthen the student’s skill base, academic self-confidence, and classroom achievement. Students are given a thorough, initial diagnostic session involving math, reading, and language arts skills. The results are reviewed with the parent, student, and tutor; a plan of action is designed with goals proposed and tutorial activities planned using educational activities appropriate for the student’s needs. It is expected that the student will attend all scheduled (mutually agreed upon) sessions and will do follow-up reinforcement work at home between sessions. Most students meet with their tutor once or twice each week for one hour and most students watch their grades, standardized test results, and the CRCT or GHSGT scores really climb. Our approach with each student includes a knowledge that all students: have a special learning style, can achieve a delight in learning, can set and reach meaningful academic goals.

Program Summary
Monroe Elementary School (MES) Learning Enrichment Assistance Program (LEAP) has a seven year history of successfully tutoring struggling students. MES started LEAP in 2002 when it was designated as Needs Improvement. Research-based strategies and best practices were used in designing LEAP. With the help of LEAP MES is now a Georgia Title I Distinguished School - Year 2 and a 2008 Bronze Award Recipient for Greatest Gain in Student Meeting and Exceeding Standards. LEAP uses the research-based Teach Them to Read (TT2R) English/Language Arts and Reading curricula and research-based A+nyWhere (A+LS) Learning System: Mathematics Curriculum (Computer Assisted). LEAP SES tutoring meets twice a week for 1.5 hours a session for individual or small group tutoring. Overall the LEAP program structure, practice and procedure follows best practices as outlined in The Afterschool Training Toolkit, Quality Afterschool Learning. Specific product curricula and lesson plans are strictly followed by qualified and trained tutors. Students are assigned to English/LA, Reading or Math tutoring base on needs as determined by CRCT, ITBS, EOCT and other school assessments. Students receiving English/LA tutoring are given an assessment to determine specific areas of need. Students receiving Math take a computerized assessment. The A+LS provides a prescriptive course of study based on the assessment. A qualified and trained lead tutor along with the tutor, parent, and student uses the assessment to set goals in Individual Student Plans (ISP). All tutoring will take place at Carver Middle and Monroe Area High School. Each school's computer lab will be used for A+LS and classrooms will be used for English/LA tutoring. Software is loaded and available for tutoring at each school. TT2R materials and lesson plans for English/LA and Reading are on site and available. MES will be a first year SES provider but has been providing tutoring for seven years.

Program Summary
I have over 5 years of experience tutoring students in subjects ranging from math to physics, This will be my first year applying as an SES Provider but have tutored for an SES Provider for the past two years.
Tutors will understand area(s) of weaknesses of the students by first assessing grade level test (Sample test included for 6th, 7th, 8th , and high school students). Then tutors will setup tutoring time on a one on one basis and will work on area(s) of improvement and will provide worksheets that are in line with the Georgia Mathematics Standards. Tutors will also help set goals with individual students to instill confidence, while monitoring their grade throughout the tutoring process. Tutors will also keep in contact with student’s teacher so that the teacher, tutor, and parent(s) are synch with the effectiveness of the program.
The length of the tutoring sessions will be an hour each week at the student’s home or at a local community center (i.e. library, school, etc.) Model of instruction will be on a one on one basis and goal setting will be taught from the initial meeting of tutor and student. The students will go back to goals every week and update their status by bringing progress reports to tutors and tutor will reach out to student by asking questions on difficulty of reaching goals and helping them with those difficulties.
Tutors will teach mini lessons: lesson in which a brief discussion on area of topic and will interact with students by doing sample problems. Assessments will be based upon the instructional examples given during time of tutoring and how well they did on the homework assigned by the tutors. Instructional materials provided to students will range from “Georgia CRCT and Practice Workbook” to lessons in students textbook.

Program Summary
New Generation Academy (NGA) was founded on the principle, "All children can learn if given the right tools and opportunity." While there are many educational tools available, NGA has chosen the Jamestown Reading Navigator (JRN) program to use. The JRN curriculum has shown remarkable success in engaging reluctant and/or struggling readers. JRN uses high-interest materials, current events, and bold graphics, along with cutting edge technology to appeal to students. NGA believes the student's ability to comprehend and read on grade level are important components of his/her academic success. Studies show good readers make better history, language arts, science, and even math teachers. The JRN curriculum applies this philosophy in the "reading across curriculum" technique which is prevalent throughout their material. NGA also believes that every child is unique. Students who attend NGA are individually assessed and a customized academic plan is implemented for each student. A self-paced curriculum that incorporates one-on-one tutoring with supplemental group activities is used. NGA has a proven track record of significantly improving student academic performance. Many students who completed the program have gone on to receive various scholarships including the HOPE Scholarship. In addition to our dedication to each student, we credit our students' achievements to the commitment to the program and parent support. We welcome the opportunity to work with you in helping your student pursue academic success. Specific tutoring times will be worked out between parents and tutor, however, your child's success will require that we meet at least 2 to 3 times per week with sessions lasting 1 to 2 hours.
