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).

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 ongoing 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.

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.

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.

Our mission is to help students build the academic skills and the love of learning they need to succeed in school and in life.

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 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.

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.

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.
