Implications Areas for improvement:
I could have been more consistent with use of progress reports. It was difficult to get students and teachers to fill these out.
Students didn’t start meeting with high school tutors until late in T2. It would have been better if I had been able to find enough tutors for all students.
Next Steps: Need for continued support in T3 for struggling
students Daily check-ins in addition to weekly group meetings
for struggling students
