Program Page: Supplemental Educational Services

This program is in the Community Based Programs & Community Outreach Department.

Made possible by President Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” initiative. The program is being implemented in our After School Program at Mill Brook Community Center, Mott Haven Community Center and Patterson Community Center. ///Through this program we employ five New York City certified teachers for a total of 36 instructional hours per week. The teachers are responsible for overseeing the implementation by the group leaders of the Voyager Extended Day Reading Intervention Program. The Voyager curriculum has a built in pre and post-testing component that assess each student’s progress in developing their academic skills. Each of the 200 student participants in this program is offered 180 hours of tutorial services by the end of the school year. ///The services provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including the provision tutorial services, with the goal of helping students meet state and city student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects such as English, Language Arts and mathematics. We offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities, such as youth development activities, counseling programs, art, music, technology education programs, and character education programs, that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students. Also, we offer parents and family members of students served by the community learning centers opportunities for literacy and related educational development, and provide social service intervention as needed. Graduating eight graders are provided with access to Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School where East Side House can continue to have a positive impact on the student and his/her family.
