We provide one on one tutoring for students that continue to lack performance in any of the three focus areas for this quarter. The curriculum for each participant will be to work from their current text books or pamphlets that are used in their classrooms. We will assist each child in completing homework and work to ensure that they comprehended the assignment. FOCAL will provide personal assistance to each child during homework period. The other tools used to assist each child with comprehension will be the designed computer software which is by grade level and age groups. The Internet is also a part of the day to day learning and research for better service and comprehension for each grade level. Mentors, counseling and rewards will be utilized to reduce misbehavior, truancy and tardiness. Alternative activities and workshops will help to reduce participants' exposure to negative role models, gangs and drug involvement, as well as, increasing alternatives to physical force to resolve problems and increase social responsibility and sensitivity to others. Our goal is to assist each participant in improving their scholastic performances and skills by providing the necessary tools and support in conjunction with their family and teachers. We believe that knowledge and achievement are the best deterrent to crime. The program will reduce involvement in crime by increasing participants' academic abilities, self esteem, and opportunities for success, positive role models, self expression, personal growth and, values clarification. Our overall goal is to help at risk youth improve their academic and life skills. Our vision is to maximize resources by allowing the community to have access to tutors, computers and services that are not otherwise available in a comfortable familiar environment. We provide the academic support and motivation that many of the participants do not receive at home. OFFICE (305) 756-6762 • (305) 343-5666 • FAX (305) 754-6058 P.O.

This period is used to determine the weaknesses and strength of each participant and develop proper programs to assist them in improving where needed. This quarter is also the starting point for writing measurable outcomes for each participants and establishing communication with the parent or guardian of the participants. The number of participants who require grade repetition will be reduced 50% minimum and the grade point average of each participant will increase 1 point by June 2004. At least 50% of the participants who have grade -writing scores will show a gain of 1 point or more on the 8th grade FCAT writing assessment by June 2004. The indicators to be measured to determine program effectiveness are grade repetition, standard test scores (FCAT, SAT, ACT), report card grades and successful school completion. FOCAL evaluate the success of the participants in developing and achieving academically, successful school completion and avoiding being a juvenile delinquent. The plan for measuring the program effectiveness is to maintain a file on each participant that tracks his or her successes and failures. We use their performances from the beginning of the fall program and document school academic and conduct improvements and declines. If a tutor/teacher observes anything that requires special attention then it is documented in that child's folder and FOCAL will provide additional counseling when needed to the child and family The file will also include information that a parent or guardian feels is pertinent to a child's development. The project coordinator will be responsible for collecting the data and maintaining the files. The data elements for measuring the program performance will be report card grades, conduct markings and school attendance records. The data will also keep track of the number of school referrals, detentions and suspensions. Also we will keep a record on whether participant has been involved in the criminal justice system and refer services. The project coordinator will also keep in contact with parents, coaches and mentors to make sure that the participants have positive adult relationships.
