How does the program support one or more of the voterapproved priorities

By having an extra person during TIG time it allows for the students to be grouped more homogeneously and lowers the teacher/student ratio in the classes. It also allows for the teacher to have less levels in her classroom and therefore creates more time to focus oh the students' specific needs. The student/teacher ratio is also lowered so that the teachers have more time with each student. Focus will be on enhancing reading skills for all students due to lowering student/teacher ratio.

Amount

$49,700

By having a Tier II, extra teacher and program to address I $1,142 the needs of the struggling language arts students, homeroom teachers will be relieved of the extra work and time it takes to help these students . It alleviates stress for the teachers, they are happier, and they stay in RCSD. Also, tutoring will help the students become stronger, more proficient readers. Focus will be on enhancing reading skills for the struggling students.
