On average, students enrolled in Academics Plus programs improve their reading achievement by over one (1) full grade level and math achievement by over two (2) full grade levels in 48 hours of instruction.
Intensive remediation of specific, requisite skills is provided in an enjoyable, highly motivating environment. Under-achieving students look forward to their instructional sessions each week (two to three one-hour sessions per week on average) and begin to experience greater academic success. Classroom teachers begin to notice increased effort and improved performance in the classroom. Their expectations are raised along with their diagnostic knowledge of each student and classroom strategies to support these students as they grow toward grade-level competency.
Frequent parent and teacher conferences and written progress reports document each student’s improvement. Finally, student performance on standardized achievement tests improves dramatically.
