Program Summary:

Educate! Motivate! Celebrate! We believe if the child is in our seat we can help them. Our program is designed with the highest regard for helping struggling learners in Georgia. We tutor students in Kindergarten through 8th grade in reading or math. Our professionally trained tutors, most of whom are certified teachers from local school and community are trained to ensure that our students are always supervised. We are in our fifth year of operation. Our program is housed mainly in the local schools. Our classes are held two days a week for 90 minutes each day and we tutor in small groups and large groups. A key component of our program is goal setting with all parties; parents and school personnel participate following an

examination of available school data and an analysis of a diagnostic pretest. With this information, we develop an Individual Student Plan (ISP) with specific goals and individualized curriculum for the student. We have aligned our curriculum and the master plan of each School District we serve. We present a progress report monthly to parents, teachers and school districts. Our company administers a post test to determine student growth and curriculum strengths and weaknesses. We are happy to report, there are significant reading and math gains in every school district we serve. Our company conducts initial and on-going training for tutors. We celebrate learning at the end of the program by inviting parents, tutors, and students to a Completion Ceremony. At this ceremony we recognize each child's work ethic and regular attendance. Our tutoring company takes pride and counts it a privilege to provide supplemental services in Reading and Math to the students in the State of Georgia.

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:

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/or Math. As one of the largest national providers of No Child Left Behind tutoring for the past eight 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% customized and individualized for the needs of the client. We also use local and state assessments when available, as well as parent and teacher recommendations to develop the learning

plan/goals. 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.

Hurt's learning theory that the educational environment should consist of four features: 1) high expectations; 2) non-threatening ambiance; 3) a 100% mastery goal; and 4) an air of reality (exposure to the same concept in more than one setting). Our program is closely aligned with the Georgia Standards and Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests and is designed to increase K-12 student academic scores.

A+ tutors are certified teachers, professionals, and college students with 2+ years experience. We work with students, parents and teachers to develop an instructional program with the following elements designed to help each student meet or exceed state standards:

1) Pre-Tutoring Assessment; 2) An Individualized Student Learning Plan (a road map); 3) Measurable Goals; 4) Progress Reports;and 5) Post-Tutoring Assessment / Final Report.

Tutoring Sessions are 60-90 minutes, twice weekly. Students are tested every 10-12 hours to measure skill development. Historically, our students academic growth ranges and average of 2.5 grade levels. We emphasize continual communication with students, parents, teachers, and school officials. We are committed to not only helping students improve academically, but to improve their attitude towards life-long learning.

Program Summary:

A+ Learning Academy (APLA) employs highly-trained instructional leaders who work to ensure that the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act are met. The APLA staff is comprised of skilled professionals possessing over seventeen years of educational experience and who have had remarkable success in closing achievement gaps with children of all learning styles. By using the latest educational technology paired with research-proven strategies each student is ensured a custom tailored learning experience. Students’ progress is monitored on an ongoing basis through various assessments such as The Diagnostic Reading Assessment (DRA), and Running Records. Our tutors work with children in Reading, Language Arts, and Math. The academy was founded on the belief that education shared with care and nurturing provides an awakening of the mind, rendering it able to more readily absorb and apply what is learned. Through a proper educational process, students are not developed as robots but instead, as critically-thinking individuals who are able to apply their learning in a way that uniquely expresses and defines who they are. We believe that success can be obtained, regardless of ethnicity and social status. APLA is committed to staffing employees with the ability to inspire all students to strive for their personal best. We provide tutoring before and after school, Saturdays and during the summer. Each session is 1.5 hours in length. We believe at APLA that learning should be fun, interactive and exciting. Tutoring schedules are arranged collaboratively with parents. We offer flexible scheduling options to ensure that all students are given the opportunity to obtain quality tutoring services. The founders of APLA believe that, while every child may not learn at the same pace, if the right tools are provided to arouse inner motivations, much can be accomplished in the learning process.

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 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:

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:

ATS Project Success offers eligible K-8 students support in English Language Arts (including reading) and Mathematics. We offer services online in the comfort and safety of the student’s home with a loaned, pre-programmed computer and dial-up Internet service at no cost to parents. We assess students to determine the student’s instructional level and learning objectives. Next, we set and adjust the curriculum to provide activities at the appropriate level. We encourage students to complete two one-hour sessions per week. Our staff monitors student progress online and follows-up with emails to the student and calls to their parents once each week. We also provide parents with monthly written reports (English/Spanish) and work with schools and teachers to make sure the student’s efforts in our program are helping them success in the classroom as well. The students use the SuccessMaker program from Pearson Digital Learning.

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.
