21st Century Grant
The “No Child Left Alone” 21st Century Community Learning
Centers Program has been made possible through a grant
received by Western Buckeye ESC.
The goal of the program is to
improve math and reading
achievement. The program is based
on the concept of
tutoring
and
mentoring
in extended day programs for students in grades 4-6.
In addition to specialized tutoring and personal mentoring, students
will have the opportunity to receive health and dental screening, fitness and
nutrition evaluations, and character education.
The overall health and well-being of the child and his/her family will
improve the child’s academic performance.
Tutors are certified teachers and
will focus on reading and math remediation.
Students will use the
PLATO (Log
in)
web-based curriculum during the program hours.
This is a K-8 program which can be individualized to meet each
student’s needs.
Lead mentors
are trained and college educated adults. The mentoring model was created
by staff of the Starr Commonwealth and teaches team building, asset
development, and character education.
