OVERALL GOAL:
Improved Student Academic Performance in Reading and Math
Academic Coaching Solutions: Reading
Foundation Skills • Vocabulary • Conceptual Understanding
Reading to Learn is an academic approach that focuses on the critical foundation skills needed for reading comprehension. Guided by academic coaches using the research-based Reading to Learn interactive lessons, students work towards increasing their independent reading time.
Academic Coaching
Students participate in scheduled coaching sessions with access to a digital or print library of leveled text. This increased independent reading at home and school allows young intellectuals to explore many more books and subject-areas in depth. In turn, these interactive lessons build-up crucial foundational content knowledge, vocabulary acquisition, and conceptual understanding. The results? Reading comprehension skills improve dramatically.
Reading Sessions
Independent reading prepares students to tackle complex text structure, understand technical academic terms, and navigate dense ideas.
Assessment Cycles
Data trends show significant growth levels in reading scores.
Academic Coaching Solutions: Math
Rigor • Practice • Incremental Strategies
Mastering Math Problems is an academic approach focused on rigorous math tasks and incremental practice. After all, confronting challenging math problems and understanding number sense is essential to student success.
Academic Coaching
Academic coaching uses intentional learning strategies to help students decipher rigorous math tasks. Students learn critical math foundational content, theoretical terms, and techniques that help solve complex math problems.
Math Sessions
Through digital and print access, students practice these mathematical skills.
Assessment Cycles
With interim assessment results aligned to practice lessons, coaches target stress areas with incremental math strategies to resolve misconceptions in real-time. Ultimately, our goal is to develop thriving, well-trained mathematicians with a master of advanced math skills across all content areas.
