Summary:
Bel Air Elementary and Shore Acres Elementary are requesting approval of an Independent Contract with DataWORKS Educational Research.

StepUP Remedial Academy:

StepUP Remedial Academy is a rigorous program that helps kids catch up on the standards they had difficulty with during the previous school year. StepUP Remedial Academy is special because it:

- helps students be more successful and confident at the beginning and throughout the next, regular school year

- provides important, extensive vocabulary support to students; the more words students know, the more they can understand what they hear and read, and the better they will be able to speak and write

- offers intensive training in developing reading fluency. With automatic word recognition students can read faster and begin to read silently more often. Students who can read silently will be able to learn twice as fast as when they read out loud.

- informs and provides parents with useful techniques to help prepare their children for the school year.

Contracted services will include:

EDI (1) lesson demonstration day, 1 day teacher training, 12 days of classroom coaching, 2 parent involvement sessions
