Tutoring available for qualified students
by The garden Island
Eligible students can now register for free federally funded tutoring for the 2006-2007 school year. Registration applications are available at eligible public schools throughout the islands and students can register now through May 2007 (deadlines may vary by district).
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, economically disadvantaged families whose children attend schools that have been identified as being “in need of improvement in Year 2” have the right to select a state-approved Supplemental Educational Service provider to deliver free federally funded academic tutoring services to their children.
For the 2006-2007 school year, there are up to $8 million in federal funds that can be allocated to provide these services for approximately 41,000 eligible students at more than 100 eligible schools in Hawaii.
It’s All About Kids is a state-approved SES provider serving students in the kindergarten through 12th grade. IAAK has improved learning during the first year of service to eligible students on Oahu and is expanding its services statewide this year. In addition, IAAK will offer unlimited access to its software and rewards program to all students that complete their tutoring sessions with an IAAK coach.
“We are so committed to having positive student outcomes that we want students to continue to use the software and earn the rewards for their academic accomplishments beyond the funding allocation for each student,” said Brett Seitman, President and CEO, in a press release. “We are excited to offer this service as an added value for students who finish our program and want to continue to learn.”
Each IAAK student takes a pre-test so that an individualized learning path can be created that will focus on the key areas of remediation for that specific student. IAAK’s software provides the student with interactive computer-based instructional activities that motivate them to learn while having fun. The curriculum is directly correlated to the Hawaii Content and Performance Standards and the National Assessment of Educational Progress standards. IAAK provides an on-site coaching staff that assists the students with off-line activities to reinforce core areas.
Families can contact their children’s school, or call It’s All About Kids at 487-KIDS (5437), Their Web site is www.smartkidshawaii.com. Exact registration deadlines vary by district.
It’s All About Kids is a Hawaii-based company that provides after-school, weekend, and summer tutoring programs to eligible students at all eligible elementary, intermediate and public high schools statewide, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hawaii and other community centers thought the islands.
