1. Implement leadership routines and systems necessary to institute evidence-based literacy practices within a tiered instructional model and build capacity to ensure sustainability of the school-wide literacy model.

2. Implement research-based instructional programs and resources within a multi-tiered system of support framework.

3. Create a consistent knowledgebase and common language among teachers that is based on the overview of reading, current reading research, and evidence-based practices in reading instruction.

4. Establish a framework and process for using scientifically-based dynamic assessments to make instructional decisions at the district, school, grade, classroom, and individual student levels.

Academic Supports and Interventions for Students

Overview

Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members serve in Boston Public Schools as tutors, mentors, and role models for students most in need of additional individualized support at school. Our research-driven model focuses on three program areas proven to help students stay on track to high school graduation: consistent attendance, strong social-emotional skills, and improved academic coursework. As near-peers, City Year AmeriCorps members are uniquely positioned to form a strong bond with students to help them succeed. City Year AmeriCorps members support students in one-on-one and small group tutoring, support teacher-led classroom instruction, lead afterschool programs, and organize whole-school initiatives that promote a positive school culture and learning environment (e.g. attenDANCEs to celebrate students with strong attendance).

Academic Supports and Interventions for Students

Overview

All children need opportunities to learn in order to fulfill their potential in school and in life. At BELL, we create high-quality, high-impact out-of-school learning opportunities for the children who need them most so that they, too, can develop the academic and social-emotional skills needed to excel. BELL builds the capacity of its school, district, and nonprofit partners to deliver evidence-based out-of-school-time programs that serve students, grades pre-K-8. BELL programs blend fun, hands-on enrichment activities with rigorous, standards-aligned academic instruction led by certified teachers    in math and English Language Arts. In BELL Summer and BELL After School programs, scholars experience academic success, gain self-confidence, and become more prepared and motivated to succeed in the classroom. The BELL model also supports teachers in learning and adopting effective instructional practices and helps parents become more engaged in their child’s education. Together, scholar success, teacher professional development, and parent involvement lead to stronger engagement, improved attendance, increased grades and test scores, and higher graduation rates.
