Supplemental Educational Services
FREE TUTORING FOR ELIGIBLE STUDENTS!
ROUND II OPEN ENROLLMENT DATES
Monday, January 23, 2012 - Monday, February 13, 2012
For Eligible Students in Kindergarten – 2nd
Grade Only
January 23, 2012 Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s): The Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, (ESEA) as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, (NCLB) requires that parents who have children attending schools identified as Needs Improvement to be notified of the school’s academic status. The Georgia Department of Education and your local school are working hard to provide programs to help all students succeed. These efforts include implementing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This law supports parent(s)/legal guardian(s) and schools working together to raise student achievement. As part of our efforts to improve student achievement and implement ESEA, your child may be eligible to receive Supplemental Educational Services (SES), which is free tutoring provided by State Approved Providers. This service provides free tutoring to enhance instruction provided outside the regular school day. Only parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of students in Kindergarten – 2nd grade who qualify to receive free or reduced price meals may request SES. If the school district does not have sufficient funds to provide services to all eligible children, priority will be given to those eligible children with the lowest test scores. Each child enrolled in the SES program will receive an allotment of $1,660. Funds are paid directly to the tutoring company or provider by the school district on behalf of the participating student and at no charge to the parent(s)/legal guardian(s). A list of Georgia Department of Education State Approved Providers is included in this brochure. The Georgia Department of Education State Approved Providers list is also available at your child’s school, the DeKalb County School System’s website at www.dekalb.k12.ga.us, or by accessing the Georgia Department of Education website: http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/tss_title_parent.aspx?PagerReg=TSSTitleSES To enroll your child in the SES Program, first review the enclosed SES provider list and choose the program you believe to be the best for you and your child. You are encouraged to ask questions to ensure that you make an informed decision. This list includes a short description of the services offered, the style of delivery (i.e., online, one-on-one, group), the location of services, and the transportation provisions. As you review the provider summaries, you will notice many providers have addresses located out of state. Each of these providers has tutors in the DeKalb County area and will offer services to students in the DeKalb County School System. Enclosed is a provider report card for each provider and a SES Request for Service form. The SES Providers must address specific and targeted deficits/objectives for each student served on their respective Individual Student Plan (ISP). It is essential for the provider to use the ISP form provided by DCSS or the Georgia Department of Education. The provider is required to document the

Frequently Asked Questions Who is eligible for services? All students from low-income families who attend a school that is in the second year of Needs Improvement or in corrective action are eligible for services. However, the district may not have enough funds to serve all eligible students, in which case the district will give priority to the lowest performing students. Who are the tutors? The Georgia Department of Education has a list of State Approved Providers in your area from which to choose. Please review the attached list to choose a provider to serve your child. Where is the tutoring? It varies by provider. Tutoring may take place in your home, at the student’s school, a local community center, place of business, library, church, neighboring school or college. How much is tutoring? Tutoring is free for eligible students and will be paid for by the school district. The school district will spend a maximum of $1,660.00 on each student for tutoring services. When is tutoring? Tutoring services are provided outside of the school day. Services may be offered either before school, after school, on the weekends, or during the summer, depending on the provider. By receiving free tutoring, student academic achievement may increase. How do students get to tutoring? Parents are responsible for transporting their child to and from tutoring services unless the provider offers transportation. Why should I consider additional assistance for my child? To ensure that students increase their academic achievement, particularly in reading, language arts, and math. What will my child study? Students will receive extra help in the areas in which they struggle academically. The school and the SES provider will assist parent(s)/legal guardian(s) in identifying the academic needs and establishing goals for each student. How will I know what my child is doing during the tutoring session? SES providers are required to submit progress reports throughout the program to inform parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of each child’s progress. How do I choose the right SES provider for my child? First, identify the areas that are causing your child to struggle in reading and math. Not all providers offer services in both reading and math. Review the attached list of approved providers, the services they offer, the style of delivery (i.e., online, one-on-one, group) and the location of services if transportation is an issue. Choose a tutoring provider that has a program that you believe will work for you and your child. For additional help contact Dr. Linda Crowley at 678.676.0309 or [email protected] to assist you in selecting a provider to tutor your child. What if tutoring does not help my child? A parent may contact the district to discuss concerns and request a different provider if the child is not having success. Thank you for all that you do to support your child’s education.

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. There is no data available for this provider.

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:
Challenging Failure Tutoring specializes in helping students with learning challenges. Based on over 30 teaching experience, we understand that not everyone learns the same way or at the same rate. Our tutors are experts in providing instruction in different ways. We pre test students to identify weaknesses and develop an instructional plan based on what they are expected to know for testing. Only after they have mastered one concept, do we move on to the next. Our average student showed a 93 point increase between their pre and posttest. Our Satisfaction Survey showed 100% of our students believe our tutoring improved their grades and 75% of parents would use our services again. Our tutoring groups of no more than 4 students per tutor meet one to two times a week for up to 2 hours at locations and on the days/times that are convenient. Materials are provided free.

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.

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:
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.

In mathematics, students are tutored in specific areas based on their needs: whole numbers, numeration, fractions, decimals, percents, geometry, pre-algebra, measurement, etc. They learn specific problem-solving strategies that help them maneuver mathematical equations.
Students are tutored in small groups for 20-23 sessions lasting one-two hours. After school session times range from 3-7pm. Potential facilities include homes of students, students' school(s), community centers, faith based centers, libraries, and C & R sites.

Cool Kids Learn, a nationwide non-profit educational organization, has been in the forefront of quality academic tutoring and enrichment programming for 10 years. Our mission is to help students build the academic skills and the love of learning they need to succeed in school and in life. We focus on strong partnerships with the school, district and parent so that our students will make significant improvement. Our recent history of documented test score improvements shows that up to 94% of our students improved reading and math skills by up to 40%, with students at greatest risk showing some of the largest gains. And parent and classroom teacher satisfaction surveys suggest that our students have become more engaged in learning. We give parents and students options of where when and where tutoring can take place, such as at the school itself, at a community center, or in the home. We consult with the school on what the student needs to improve, and we conduct our own testing, in order to create a custom-made program for each student. We will accommodate the student's special way of learning and we will match each one with the tutor and group best suited to needs. English Language Learners are welcome and we provide special materials for rapid improvement of basic skills. Site supervisors keep contact with parents, tutors and schools, so that each student is receiving proper attention. Our Steps to Success trade mark materials cover all the major Reading and Math strands and engage students in fun and meaningful ways to complement regular classroom instruction. Cool Kids Learn was elected to the Florida and Tennessee Department of Education Advisory Panels; in recognition of our quality-driven programs, and we are proud to be able to serve Georgia students and their parents once again in 2010-2011.

Program Summary:
Our company has been providing tutoring services for 3 years and is an experienced Supplemental Educational Services provider that has built a solid reputation among students, parents, and districts as a provider of services that are organized, of high quality, rewarding and responsive to the needs of students and parents. We offer one-on-one or small group instruction 60 minutes for 2-3 days a week to students in reading. Services are offered at the student's school, home or community center. We use certified teachers, paraprofessionals and other qualified personnel that are experienced in working with struggling students. Our instructors include special education teachers, guidance counselors, teachers that hold a reading endorsement, and tutors that are fluent in Spanish. Our process begins with communicating with parents and teachers to determine subject assessments or our own assessments. We then diagnose student needs using existing district assessments or our own assessments. We use these assessment results, along with parent and teacher feedback, to create 2 to 3 reading goals for the Student Learning Plan. Our reading curriculum correlates with the Georgia Performance Standards and has helped students improve their grades and performance on state tests. We provide students with strategies that will help them achieve long-term success. By using teacher and peer modeling, graphic organizers, and hands-on manipulatives, students with unique learning needs will benefit from our individualized approach. We create a learning environment that is enjoyable for students in order to encourage active participation and optimum mastery of skills. We also provide daily snacks, student incentives on a weekly basis, perfect attendance prizes and program completion awards to motivate students to have good attendance throughout the entire program.

Program Summary:
Educate Online has successfully served more than 56,000 students since 2002, including more than 1,400 in Georgia since 2007. On average, students who complete our math program gain at least a grade level. This also positively impacts in-school performance and grades.
All instruction takes place on a computer and headset provided by Educate Online. Educate Online will also arrange internet connectivity, if needed. To ensure student safety, the computers are loaded with security software embedded in the operating system only allowing students to access the Educate Online program until they complete their tutoring. Students typically take two to four 60 minute sessions each week. Using headset and computer, they will be taught by a live instructor.
All sessions take place in the safety and convenience of each student's home - eliminating the need for transportation. Sessions are available seven days a week and are taught by U.S. state-certified teachers with at least two years of teaching experience. Student-to-teacher ratios do not exceed 3:1.
Students take an assessment test at the beginning of the Educate Online program to provide a baseline for determining an individualized learning plan. A Prescription Monitor reviews each plan to ensure that the skills are matched up properly and the curriculum is appropriate for that student. The plan presents content areas where the student is struggling, specific skills or strategies needed and examples of skills or strategies in use. Educate Online is able to serve ELL, special education, and disabled students given their ability to perform the necessary computer related functions.

Program Summary:
In 2002, in an effort to reach out and accelerate the achievement of at-risk students, the GFCDC established an educational remedial program to teach, mentor, and tutor elementary school children living in poverty, within the Metro Atlanta Public School System. Our tutorial services are interactive and focus on the core academic subjects of Reading, Mathematics, and Language Arts for grades 1 through 12. Our instruction will emphasize skills to help all students achieve school success and pass promotional test objectives that the state requires. Certified teachers and highly qualified tutors will work with students on a one-on-one basis and in small group settings to ensure student success. Our program offers personalized student learning plans, innovative and unique techniques to reach students, access to computer based learning, comprehensive assessments, weekly and monthly progress reports to parents and teachers, on-going evaluations, and nutritional snacks. Tutorial services will be held at the Greenforest-McCalep Academic Center which is convenient, safe, and conducive to learning. The tutorial schedule includes a Saturday, three-hour tutoring session from 9 a.m. until 12 noon. Our tutorial instruction and educational materials are consistent with Georgia Performance Standards as well as the National Reading Panel (NPR) and the National Council of Mathematics. They are high quality and based on the most current knowledge of what promotes student success. Our instructional techniques have been successful in helping students at a low-achieving Metro-Atlanta school pass the CRCT (standardized test) that resulted in the school being removed from the list of schools not making the state’s Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The Green Forest CDC was first approved as an SES provider for the 2003-2004 school year. We are currently completing our fourth year of service to students of Atlanta, Clayton, DeKalb, and Fulton County School Systems.

Program Summary:
The Kinetic Potential Scholars (KPS) program utilizes the latest advancements in technology to deliver the highest quality education to your child. Live academic sessions of up to 8 students are led by a KP Tutor who utilizes 3D virtual learning environments, white boards, online texts and streaming video technology to facilitate every lesson. KPS engages students in their education the same way video games reach out and grab kids' attention. Just as KPS' technology is top notch, so are our KP Tutors. Research demonstrates that more than class size, the course books used, or class schedule, quality of instruction proves to be the biggest factor in determining a child's academic success-especially for kids in struggling schools. By recruiting KP Tutors from America's best graduate programs in education-including those of Harvard, Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins, Columbia and Yale-KPS not only selects from a pool of highly-qualified instructors, but also brings on board individuals who are specifically committed to providing at-risk students with equity in educational opportunities. KPS is more than just tutoring, we make a long-term commitment to the students in our program, providing each with mentorship and career development throughout each stage of their development.

Program Summary:
Learning4Today (L4T) has offered SES tutoring services for four years. L4T's research-based Academic Excellence program demonstrates a record of effectiveness on student academic performance as measured by state assessments. Eighty-five percent of L4T students show at least a one grade level gain. We achieve these results by conducting an online assessment to identify gaps in each student's math and/or reading skills and by creating an individual plan that combines computer-aided instruction with small group tutoring to improve student skill levels a minimum of 80% at posttest. Students spend 3-5 hours per week alternating between computer-based and pencil-and-paper, small group learning in 1-2 hours sessions over a period of 15-20 weeks. L4T uses a mastery learning model to assess student progress. This model integrates ongoing, curriculum- based measurements of each student's ISP goals with their tutor's on-site observation of progress the student makes toward his/her goals.

Program Summary:
Our tutoring program focuses on reading, language arts, and mathematics for grades K-8 using highly qualified and caring teachers. We believe the key to effective tutoring is the maintenance of small group learning environments with a maximum 1:7 teacher-student ratio. Each child's individual academic plan is carefully constructed using diagnostic information and parent input and instruction is designed to address student needs. Parents receive monthly progress reports and frequent contact with our staff. Our tutoring program is available before and after school with 1.5 - 3.0 hours of service available per week. Our program has a 29-year history of proven positive results with over 4,600 students served in 64 school districts in 5 states for the 2006-2007 school year.

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. Although this program is a reading program we incorporate reading in other areas, with an emphasis on reading math. Many math students have an underlying reading problem that inhibits their ability to learn math concepts. 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 especially math students. The JRN curriculum applies this philosophy in the "reading across curriculum" technique which is prevalent throughout the 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.

Program Summary:
Next Level Learning has served Georgia students and their parents since 2006 with challenging and effective tutoring programs in Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics which connect with Georgia Performance Standards. A major focus is on developing strong self-confidence and the belief to succeed in school and their eventual careers. Students attending our program have showed consistent learning gains throughout, with the majority moving up at least one letter grade or higher. Our own proprietary curriculum focuses on individual needs, and students can directly apply what they have learned to regular class instruction. Tutoring is not a test preparation program but students will feel more confident when getting ready for state tests such as CRCT and EOCT, since we include what is tested in our program. English Language Learners and those with special needs who are mainstreamed during the regular school day are also very welcome to join our program, and we give careful attention to meeting their needs. We attach high importance to collaborating with the class teacher so that tutoring is relevant to each student's studies. In addition to collecting student data, we also pre-test to target the very specific areas in need of improvement. We consult each parent and present the program for their approval before starting into tutoring. Students and parents are also given the choice of different schedules, including weekday and weekend options. Tutoring can take place at the school, community facility or in the home. Our multilingual staff is available at any time through our toll-free line, and monthly progress reports to parents can be sent in English, Spanish or Haitian-Creole. We are honored to be one of the Georgia providers once again in 2010-11 and to be partners with students, parents and the schools in our NLL Success Teams.

Program Summary:
Reach for Tomorrow (RFT) has been an approved SES provider in 15 states for grades K-12 for the past 3 years. Students have shown an average grade level gain of 2 or more grade levels in English Language Arts and Math in less that 30 hours. Extra learning Online is used to deliver instruction to students which are a self-paced, individualized, web based, computer delivered, and secular, neutral, and non-ideological mastery learning program for grades K-12.
Tutoring sessions are 1 hour after school for up to 4 days per week using school based computers and the Internet- no software required. RFT uses only local teachers who are trained on the program to work with students using customized curricula for each student. Students are assessed using criteria based tests embedded in the program for grades K-12 as well as nationally normed Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) for grades 5-12. Individual Programs of Study are created to set goals for improvement of at least .5 grade level in English/Language Arts and 1 grade level in Math.
Each lesson progresses as follows: read a text book, providing instructional content in small segments; questions to check the student's understanding of what they have read; a short lesson quiz to measure their level of mastery of the lesson; and activities to reinforce the content presented in the book such as hands on activities such as BrainPops (interactive animated shorts) for the kinesthetic learner and streaming videos for the visual learner to further expand the content presented in the book. The lesson ends at the completion of these visual assignments, and the student moves on to the next lesson. Each student may work with a live tutor online from after school until midnight 7 days per week to assist with homework at no cost.

Students are given a Preliminary Skills Assessment to determine their current level of functional proficiency. RPM has demonstrated increases in student achievement when the students attend regularly and parents are involved. A conference is held with the parents to review the results of the testing and to introduce them to the individualized program of instruction RPM has developed for their child. Instruction is done by certified teachers who currently work in or are retired from the area school systems. Students are taught in very small groups of 4 students to one teacher for grades 4 and above, and 1 on 1 instruction for students in kindergarten through 3rd grade. The child attends the program 1.5 hours, 2 days a week, for a total of 3-4 hours a week to receive individualized instruction in reading and math. The program has been very successful at improving the reading and math skills of all of the students, assisting students in passing CRCT exams, GHSGT, and increasing the self confidence of the student. The facility is newly constructed and provides a spacious learning environment for all students.

Program Summary:
The Sylvan NCLB program is the same program advertised on television. Sylvan Learning Centers are conveniently located in Clayton County, Fayetteville, Stockbridge, Oakwood, Peachtree City and Cumming. For more information and directions visit www.educate.com or call 770-684-0861. Sylvan has been a SES provider in Georgia since 2003 and has helped over 1000 NCLB students. NCLB students participate in the same instruction sessions as all other Sylvan students. No Child Left Behind students have averaged ¾ of a grade level increase on the California Achievement Test over their three months in the Sylvan Reading or Math programs. Our goal is to develop students’ academic skills so they can become confident, independent learners. Instruction is done at local Sylvan Centers so that all of the Sylvan learning materials, textbooks, and computer programs are available. The student teacher ratio is typically three students to one teacher. Students attend Sylvan two times each week for 1 or 2 hours depending on their age. The centers are open for instruction Monday through Thursday from 3:30 to 7:30 PM and on Saturdays from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The first step is an individually administered diagnostic assessment to pinpoint skill gaps. These skill gaps form the educational prescription individually tailored to meet your child’s needs. Each student has a unique lesson plan that is updated after each hour of instruction. The Sylvan educational prescription is linked to the Georgia Performance Standards so instruction impacts students’ performance in Georgia classrooms. Sylvan teaches to mastery - we do not go on to a new skill until the student has mastered the previous skill. We provide written monthly reports to parents and classroom teachers on student progress in mastering specific skills.

Program Summary:
Total Learning Concepts is a privately owned educational support service for students of all ages, in all academic areas, and for all levels of abilities. Total Learning Concepts has been teaching students since 1986 in reading, writing, math, science, foreign languages, study skills, SAT/ACT preparation, State of Georgia standardized test preparation, and in school course work. Initially, we assess students' academic abilities by reviewing all school and other test records and or administer nationally normed, performance based assessments. We then prescribe an individualized program of student for each student. The program created includes the student and session objectives, academic and/or GPS areas to be taught, methods and materials to utilize, number of sessions each week, predicted length of program, and selection of the most effective instructor for the student. All sessions meet for a minimum of one hour, and the number of sessions each student attends is determined by the result of test scores and the time frame in which the work must be accomplished. All sessions are documented by the instructor to include the goal, materials and methods utilized, percentage of correct responses, and areas in need of continued instruction. the effectiveness of our program with students on statewide tests, such as the CRCT and GHSGT, can be evidenced by the 23 years Total Learning Concepts has been in operation and the thousands of successful students who have improved in abilities, graduated from high school, passed the State assessments and the number of referrals we receive each month due to our excellent reputation for enabling students to reach their academic goals and potential. Our methods of instruction are face-to-face with degreed instructors who are assigned to a student whose area of need matches the instructor's area of educational expertise and experience utilizing texts, special teaching methods, and manipulatives.
