Our success is measured as follows:

• Achieving typical or above-average progress in core subjects, as measured by state and local assessments.

• Passing core courses with a grade of C or higher.

• Showing improvement on the state English language proficiency assessment (for English language learners).

• Building social-emotional skills.

• Advancing to the next grade level on schedule.

• Participating in additional learning opportunities.

We’ve implemented a variety of strategies:

• At Northgate, John Muir and Rainier View, TIPS tutors drive small group reading interventions.

• At West Seattle, teachers and tutors work simultaneously to support the overall classroom environment.

• At Cleveland STEM and Lincoln, tutors assist teachers in the classroom and provide homework help during lunch.

• At Chief Sealth, tutors run a drop-in tutoring center that is open before, during and after school.

• At West Seattle and Ingraham, tutors are integrated into the staff community and serve as both academic tutors and case managers.
